World Water Project engages in several projects, primarily focusing on helping the poor and marginalized in Uganda and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. There are no employees as the work is primarily accomplished through the work of volunteers. In 2024, approximately 30 individuals went on a mission trip to Uganda on five separate occasions throughout the year. Overall, the cumulative impact of our work touches over 10,000 individuals. In 2024, the organization funded and built a new clinic in East Africa that will serve the poor and underserved. Basic medical care and obstetrics (birthing) are the main services provided along with a pharmacy. World Water Project also continues to provide support to the Ida Harris Medical Clinic in Kidongola, Uganada built in 2023. It is the primary financial supporter of this clinic and the staff have been able to service over 5,000 medical visits and facilitate the birth of 300 children in 2024.
