Field work in Northern Uganda 7-18 March

Our team travelled to Gulu during 7-18 March to answer some research questions that could be answered only by visiting the field and asking the locals. We had quite a many interviews with local farmers, parents, school staff, pupils, emptying service SMEs and NGOs. Our trip was a success and we were able to find a lot of new information related to our developed concepts. Also we were happy to be united with the fellow Makerere students and to hear their progress on the research. UniWASH Uganda involves a lot of people (as can be seen in the picture below) and the field trip also gave the possibility to meet with the Elephant Tap and Menstruation Hygiene Management teams. Our task from now is to gather all the information and to propose how the drainable latrines of the schools could be emptied in a sustainable way.
