FROM THE FOUNDER<br />
As I reflect over the last few years since the <strong>Ichupa</strong><br />
<strong>Upcycle</strong> <strong>Project</strong> began, I’ve grown immensely proud of my<br />
executive team and our progress throughout Eastern<br />
Uganda. What began as a small project on my former<br />
compound in Mbale Town has transformed into a districtwide<br />
effort to harvest rainwater while conserving the<br />
environment as our tanks rise up from the ground.<br />
This project continues to expand thanks to the hard<br />
work of the many aspiring men, women, and youth wishing<br />
to earn a respectable wage while promoting a new mindset<br />
that plastic waste can be more ‘useful than wasteful,’ and<br />
encouraging others to come and participate.<br />
During one of my recent trips to visit our previous<br />
beneficiaries, the headmaster at North Road Primary<br />
School expressed that “even though the rains have not<br />
come, water was able to be delivered from Manafwa River<br />
after paying only 10,000 shillings ($3.00) to fill up all of<br />
our tanks.” This being a fraction of the cost they would<br />
have otherwise spent; opening funds for other activities.<br />
