dfcu and Water Aid Uganda, today commissioned and handed over a recycling plant to community leaders in Kawempe.

These projects are part of dfcu’s partnership with Water Aid, an ongoing commitment valued at Shs 190 million which will improve water supply and sanitation in various communities in Kampala, Lira, Arua, Hoima, Masaka and Mbarara districts.

"A huge amount of resources of dfcu’s social responsibility programs are geared towards improved sanitation and conserving the environment through construction of toilet facilities, water kiosks and a recycling," said Susan Nsibirwa Nkugwa, Head of Marketing dfcu Bank. "The recycling plant, does not only improve hygiene, it also is a job creator/source of income for the people that work at the plant. From the various crafts developed out of recycled material to the manure for agricultural purposes, the plant is sure to benefit the diverse group of people."

WaterAid is an international charity dedicated to helping people escape the stranglehold of poverty and disease caused by living without safe water and sanitation.
