Scouts, Explorer Scouts and their Leaders held a bag pack at Waitrose Yateley to raise funds for a new water well in Uganda.
Wells for Uganda started back in 1992, when a large group of Scouts visited Uganda. During their first visit here, the Hampshire Scouts identified a drastic need for clean water and this was when the first well was dug. Since then visits have been made in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2015 and most recently in 2018. Access to clean water is the key to saving lives particularly for children under the age of 5. In a unique collaboration since 2000, Hampshire Scouts have raised funds which has enabled the Scouts of the Masindi district of Uganda to finance the construction of 40 protected water wells so far.
