Derrick Luwaga is one of the core founders and present director of KACCAD. He helped start KACCAD in 1994. Since that time he has been diligently committed to serving Wakiso and Mpigi District residents through his work with KACCAD.

I wish on behalf of KACCAD to extend our sincere thanks for this quite enormous work of construction of 20 spring wells since 2007-2008. It could not have been a success without the input and support of our volunteers Sofia Graflund and family, Amanda Nakalema Milholland and family, Maheen, Tori, Brittany, Clementine, Courtney, Musisi Samuel and Nicholas Ssekilanda. At this juncture I would like to take this opportunity to extend sincere thanks on behalf of the people of Wakiso Sub-County, the main beneficiaries of this project, and the KACCAD community to the Swedish, Canadian and American partners whose support was giver for these projects. I would also like to thank our partner organizations The Real Uganda and Global Volunteer Network for providing us with international volunteers without which this work would not have been possible.

The construction of these 20 spring wells has cost us 64,260,000 Ugandan Shillings, which is equivalent to $37,800US dollars. We sincerely thank all of the donors who have contributed to the development of these springs! And this is serving a large populace of the parishes of Ssumbwe, Nakabugo, Mende, Kaliti, Banda and Naluvule of Wakiso Sub-County. Its estimated that the construction of 20 spring wells will benefit over 27,560 families. We thank each and every one who has contributed for your help to make this gift to the community possible.

Sincerely,

Derrick Luwaga
KACCAD Director
