A safe home is more than a roof. In Mityana, safe water, sanitation, electricity and stable daily care cannot always be taken for granted.
Mityana’s 2024 census records show that 25.3% of households used an unimproved drinking-water source, 41.8% were without improved sanitation when unimproved sanitation and open defecation are combined, and 32.6% used grid electricity as their main source of lighting.
“Improved water” does not necessarily mean running water inside a home. It can include a borehole, protected spring or public tap within an accepted distance. In the same way, improved sanitation does not necessarily mean a sewer connection.
For Purple Rose, Safe Home & Daily Care means children live with safe water, suitable sanitation, electricity, clean clothing, beds, routines and responsible adults who are consistently present.
