On September 22, Uganda Farmers Inc. will sponsor its

second annual Running Water for Africa event at Foran High

School in Milford.

Waterborne diseases are the leading cause of illness and

death worldwide, especially in Africa and Asia. 40% of the

worlds population does not have clean water to drink, and

according to a United Nations report, 4,000 children die each

day as a result of ingesting contaminated water.

Thanks to local support, last years inaugural race was a big

success. Funds raised were used to bring clean water to

thousands of people in the western Ugandan villages of

Rwesigiire and Ruhunga.

These villagers are now assured of a clean water supply and

no longer have to walk two to three miles twice a day to

fetch water as taps are scattered throughout each village.

This years proceeds will be used to benefit the village of

Ihunga, Uganda. Pre-registration is encouraged (online at

www.raceit.com) and must be received before September 15.

On race day, registration begins at 7:30 a.m., followed by an

8:30 a.m. Kids Fun Run and the 9 a.m. start for the 5K run

and two mile walk. Refreshments, awards, and music will be

provided.

All donations are tax-deductible and are

monitored by Uganda Farmers, Inc.

If you would like to make a donation, please

make checks payable to Uganda Farmers, Inc.
