Assessing the Health, Educational, and Psychosocial Impact of Rainwater Purification Systems in Kijoto Parish, Uganda
REFNo: HS7133ES
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the social, psychological, and health-related impact of newly installed rainwater catchment, purification, and storage systems at three primary schools in Kitojo Parish, Uganda. These systems were implemented by the Healthy Hands Initiative and Raising the Communities in February 2025 to address water insecurity and its associated burdens in rural areas.
This study has the following specific aims:
Aim 1:
Assess the impact of clean water access on community quality of life, mental health, and safety.
We will examine how rainwater systems influence the day-to-day lives of community members, with a focus on time savings, perceived improvements in health and well-being, reduced anxiety around water access, and improved safety (e.g., reduced long-distance water collection, particularly for women and children).
Aim 2:
Explore the effects of clean water systems on educational outcomes and student well-being.
We will investigate how water access affects teacher-reported attendance, student focus, and general classroom dynamics. We hypothesize that improved access to clean water correlates with higher attendance and fewer health-related absences.
Aim 3:
Identify implementation factors that affect system adoption and sustainability.
Using qualitative methods grounded in implementation science frameworks (e.g., RE-AIM or CFIR), we will explore what factors support or hinder successful adoption and long-term maintenance of the rainwater systems. These factors may include local leadership involvement, cultural attitudes, system usability, and perceptions of ownership.
Aim 4:
Compare current water quality with prior community sources.
Water samples will be collected from the new systems and compared with samples from previously used sources to evaluate improvements in water safety.
