FogQuest is an innovative, international, non-governmental, non-profit organization. It is a registered charity in Canada. Our water projects are for small rural communities in the most arid parts of the world. Even in locations with little or no rain, there are often fog-covered hills that can be a source of clean water for the people. We work with the communities and local NGOs to develop projects that are appropriate to the environment, and the culture and religion of the people. The large fog collectors require no energy source. The fog droplets are carried to the mesh of the collectors by the wind. The water that is produced flows by gravity to the community. Because fog, and rain when it occurs, are almost entirely free of harmful bacteria, the fog collection system is also a good alternative in places where the ground water supply is contaminated. Twenty large fog collectors can provide water for a village of 200 people. The cost is low, only about $1 for 1000 liters of water.

Since 1972 ACTS has been bringing clean water to villages in Southwestern Uganda. Our water projects include community education in the areas of health and sanitation and environmental issues. We partner with the Church of Uganda (Anglican) and have developed healthy working relationships with various local agencies as a means of providing villagers with access to resources in health (specifically HIV/AIDS testing and education) and sustainable agriculture initiatives. In recent years we have also developed Mutual Benefit Societies for widows who have limited means to support themselves and their children. Through co-operative farming, animal husbandry and handicrafts these women work together to achieve the financial means to support themselves and contribute to their communities. We have enjoyed support from CIDA in 3-1 matching funding for these projects as well as funding for Canadian youth interns to work in their field of expertise to serve these communities.
