This is reflected in the recent concluded activity on Health and Sanitation that was organized under the theme: "Mpondwe Lhubiriha Town Council-A clean Environment for life" this activity looked at an environment that supports the right to life i.e. free from diseases through good health conditions.
Mpondwe Lhubiriha Town Council is a fast growing town in Kasese District with a population of approximately 60,000 people. The health conditions of the area is alarming improper dumping sites especially ungazzetted areas. the disposal of human waste has been dumped all over the town although the town council authority has tried to create a conducive health environment, its efforts have not provided sustainable impact. With this background, Youth Partnership Uganda with its local partners like Integrated Rural Youth Farmers, Upstairs Vocational Business College, Bwera Hospital and MLT Council teamed up to clean the town by collecting the gabbage and dumping them off to the site gazetted by the town council. The activity took place on 23rd May 2013 and captured the attention of the residents from the town and its sorrounding areas and the relevant authorities and concentrated around mpondwe area.
the support/funding of this activity was drawn from the participating partners that included man power and materials including finances
However, as a committment to a create a clean environment, Youth Partnership Uganda together with its partners have agreed to carry on this activity quarterly. However we also wish to attract the attention of other partners in the support of this activity
