In 2011, RCPUSA, with support from Rotary Club International, drilled the village’s first borehole on the grounds of St. Timon’s Rabondo Secondary School. This well immediately became the central water source for thousands of people in Rabondo and surrounding rural communities.

Families and students would often walk several miles to fetch water for drinking, cooking, washing, and bathing, carrying heavy containers back home. The well also supplies RCPUSA-supported institutions, including the primary school, secondary school, and medical clinic, ensuring that students, teachers, and healthcare staff have reliable access.

Water from the well is carefully tested to ensure it is potable and safe for use, eliminating the need for families to boil water, a task that once consumed hours of labor each day. Clean water supports good health, fuels growing bodies, and allows children to spend more time learning rather than hauling water. Every drop is essential to life, education, and opportunity in Rabondo..
