Emptage said UBL, through its parent company Diageo, had supported water projects in Uganda.
“In partnership with Runkungiri Church of Uganda, we funded drilling of 40 bore holes in 2001. In 2002, we funded drilling of boreholes in Kamuli, Iganga and Luwero with the support of Busoga Trust,†he said.
UBL’s Lydia Muhirwe, said the women were taught how to make the tanks.
