Sustainable Sanitation and Water Renewal Systems (SSWARS) is a non profit making, Non-Governmental organization registered to operate in Uganda. SSWARS was certified and duly registered on 30th September 2005 by the National Board for Registration of NGOs in Uganda.
SSWARS plans and implements people-centered approaches to sustainable sanitation and water supply. The key objective is to develop, improve and sustain the status of the communities through use of sustainable and renewable systems with a prime objective of reducing risk of exposure to poor sanitation and water related diseases, and ultimately alleviate poverty amongst the communities. The overall goal is efficient sustainable utilization and recycling of resources.
The mode of implementation is through involving communities, right from the onset of projects. SSWARS conducts sensitization campaigns for cross cutting age groups in order to plan, train, construct, operate, maintain and manage sustainable sanitation and water supply and waste recycling systems. A vicious cycle of project evaluation and collection of lessons from past practices is maintained at the end of each project to culture a sense of project ownership and sustainability among the beneficiaries.
