A Toast to Reliability: Welcoming 2026.
As we step into 2026, I want to pause the forward momentum for just a moment to appreciate what made 2025 truly meaningful.
This past year didn't just deliver more water; it delivered confidence. And while we love the satisfying sight of new water wells, let's face it, we do a lot of the hard labor, our success has once again proven that reliable water isn't built with infrastructure alone. It's built with reliable people.
This is the calculated core of our work: long-term, trustworthy partnership. When communities, local scout leaders, and our global network of WOSM, BP Fellows and friends of Scouting know that our commitment extends far beyond the ribbon-cutting ceremony, projects evolve into a dependable lifeline. That’s the power of teamwork through scouting.
This reliability is the silent game-changer. Across the places we serve, families are no longer gaining just access to water; they are gaining confidence that the source will be flowing next month and next year. That certainty changes everything:
• It changes how parents plan their day and provide for their families.
• It changes how children focus on their education instead of fetching water.
• It changes how local health workers care for their communities.
In short, the predictability of water gives a community permission to imagine a better future. That's a powerful return on investment. Stepping into the New Year.
Our vision for the coming year is crystal clear: water every person can truly count on, everywhere, without exception. It’s an ambitious goal, but then again, Scouts rarely aim low.
We will continue to move toward it by listening, learning from every challenge, and staying committed.
This work is strongest because of our unified global network and, most importantly, donors like you. Your generosity is the reliable foundation upon which every single lasting water system is built. It ensures we can consistently show up and commit to the long clean safe water cause.
So, let's step into 2026 together. There is still crucial work to be done, and there are still communities waiting for the confidence that clean, reliable water provides. Thank you for being an essential part of this enduring transformation.
We look forward to accomplishing great things with you, side by side, this year. HAPPY 2026.
Yours In Scouting

Thank you for helping us make this season so bright!

The Joy of Clean Water: A Call to Action to Change More Lives! 📢
We are ecstatic to share the monumental success of the new protected spring water well in Kilulu B Village! The struggle for clean water is now a memory for these villagers, whose gratitude is expressed in shouts of pure joy, especially from the women and children.
This single well, was made possible by the incredible generosity of B.P Fellows, Spejderkaffe.dk, Scouts and friends of scouting. (A massive thank you to Tom Baltutis for accepting to hand over the new water well to the community!). It has immediately unlocked a brighter future. During the official handover, it was graced by Mugoya Uthman - Deputy Chief Commissioner of the Uganda Scouts Association (OFFICIAL). We saw firsthand what true impact looks like: children who will no longer miss school because water is now accessible in their village.
But the work is not over. While Kilulu B celebrates, countless other villages still wait. We know that as Scouts, we are committed to Creating a Better World—and that mission requires your help.
Join the Movement!
DONATE: Your contribution, big or small, directly funds the materials and logistics for the next life-saving water well. Help us replicate this success story.
VOLUNTEER: Lend your time and skills on the ground or in planning. Be a direct part of the team that builds a healthier, more educated future.
Let's make sure no child misses’ school because of water scarcity. Let’s turn joy into a ripple effect across Uganda.

Making a Bold Statement for Safe Water in Nabingo. Village.
During yesterday's visit to the safe water well construction site, a significant moment unfolded. Tom Baltutis alongside volunteers from Mercy Scouts and a dedicated team of Danish volunteers, were warmly welcomed by the community. We all had hands on to build the well. our collaborative spirit underscored a crucial message:
The water crisis extends far beyond basic necessities like drinking, cooking, and hygiene. It severely impacts food security, livestock health, income-generating activities, and the community's overall capacity for sustainable development.
Transformative Impact:
With access to cleaner, reliable water, the incidence of waterborne diseases—such as diarrhea, cholera, and typhoid—is expected to see a significant reduction.
A conversation with a 15-year-old in the village highlighted the most profound change: time. As she shared: "A close, reliable water source will return something I have never truly had: time. Time to study. Time to rest. Time to play. Time to be a child again."
The hours many children currently spend walking long distances and waiting in line for water are hours spent dreaming of a different life—one where water is accessible, safe, and easy to collect.
Together, we are restoring stolen child livelihoods, one clean water well at a time.
