The blue drop on the box
Every PUNDMANN boiler arrives with this sticker. It shows that this purchase sends €1 to clean water in Uganda.
Water is often there. Safe drinking water is not.
Many villages in Uganda now have a protected water point. But between the well and the cup there are often long walks, jerrycans and germs – and in the end families drink water that can make them ill.
- 82%
- of villages have at least one safe water source, according to the Ministry of Water
- under 10%
- of the rural population have safely managed drinking water at home
- 87%
- fetch their water from outside their own compound
- 50%
- went without clean water at times in the past year
What contaminated water does
Germs in water cause diarrhoea, cholera, typhoid and hepatitis. Diarrhoea is especially dangerous for small children because they dehydrate quickly.
Women and children often fetch the water – every day and over long distances. That time is lost from school and work.
Carried and stored in jerrycans, even water from a protected source easily becomes contaminated again.
What we are doing now
With every boiler sold, PUNDMANN funds a water treatment plant at the local well in Fort Portal. It filters out sediment and germs right on site – so families there have water they can drink safely.

Mana Foundation e.V.
Mana Foundation was founded in 2020 in Westerkappeln, Germany, and works on a voluntary basis for women and children in Uganda – for education, health and social justice. Its base is the House of Hope in Fort Portal, exactly where our first water treatment plant is being built.
It all began in 2021 with an encounter: on her first trip to Uganda, founder Jasmin Wollert met a young mother with her newborn baby. This sparked the wish to give women and girls in similar situations a place to turn to – and to create prospects against poverty, early school drop-out and forced marriage.
