ISU officials attend Uganda well dedication
Ames — Iowa State University officials on Thursday attended the dedication of
two new wells in Uganda built with the help of ISU's Center for Sustainable
Rural Livelihoods.
The wells will help irrigate vegetable gardens in the rural Kamuli District and will
provide water to 700 elementary school children, the university said in a news
release.
The center, started in 2003 with gifts from Gerald A. and Karen A. Kolschowsky,
is partnering with non-governmental agencies in Uganda to help developing
nations increase food security and farm incomes."
