The South Western Towns Water and Sanitation (SWTWS) project was created in 1995 to provide water supply and improve sanitation in 19 small towns and rural centres in south-west Uganda. The main focus was to provide water and sanitation systems with low operation and maintenance costs to ensure sustainability given the low-income levels of the beneficiaries.
