Owen Sheehan fundraising for World Vision Ireland

This September, I will be travelling to Uganda with World Vision Ireland on their Uganda Sponsors Trip. My family has been sponsoring two children in Uganda for the past 18 years, and this trip is a unique opportunity for me to finally meet them in person and see first-hand the difference sponsorship has made in their lives. While in Uganda, I will also witness the incredible work being done through World Vision’s WASH Project, which is transforming schools and communities. Simple solutions like safe toilets and handwashing stations make a life-changing difference, helping children stay healthy, stay in school, and move toward a brighter future. As I prepare for this journey, I’m asking for your support. Every donation will go directly toward supporting the WASH Project and the children it benefits. Together, we can create lasting change.

About Uganda Sponsors Trip 2025 - WASH Project

Every child deserves clean water. 
We can help end the global water crisis within our lifetime. 

The project's main objective is to enhance the learning environment by providing inclusive and gender-appropriate sanitation facilities, as well as promoting positive hygiene and sanitation behaviors within primary schools across our Uganda area programmes.

World Vision’s WASH project will achieve this through the construction of gender-segregated latrines to include handwashing facilities within primary schools.

School hygiene and sanitation facilities are critical to keeping students healthy. Without proper handwashing stations and latrines, kids miss class due to illness or menstruation, and schools struggle to retain qualified teachers.

Give today to help children enjoy good health and stay in school — so they can keep moving forward on the path out of poverty!
