ClearWater was proud to be a sponsor of the closing reception for Terrell Clark’s powerful photo exhibit: “Eyes of Uganda”
Clay’s Gallery, Atlanta, GA
October 23rd, 2008

Eyes of Uganda took us on a visual journey into a land of calm and hope for all of Africa. Renowned photographer Terrell Clark captured Uganda like no one else. See more of Terrell’s pictures here.

"Get Beer, Give Water"
Sweetwater Brewery in Atlanta
July 12th, 2008

Together we raised nearly $10,000 to repair two broken wells at Akworo primary school and Awere refugee camp. Work was completed in mid-September, providing clean water to 1,240 people in Uganda.

See more pictures of the event by our friends Barry Williams and Alyssa Sperber.

Unfortunately, we were not able to raise enough money to build the rainwater catchment system at a primary school for 450 boys and girls, a protected spring at Orum and Amonmaka villages or a rainwater catchment system for a maternity health clinic. Over the next few months, we hope to apply for grants and donations as we strive to reach our goal of clean water for 10,000 people in the next 4 years.
