The objective was to "Contribute to Reduced Diarrhoea among Children Under Five of the Urban Poor in Kawempe Municipality through Provision of Affordable and Sustainable Sanitation Service". This objective was important locally, and regionally, as issues around sanitation are long-standing problems in many African cities, especially in areas where informal settlements have grown rapidly. Kawempe is a substantial division within Kampala, Uganda, that has grown very quickly in recent years but suffers from a lack of both water and sanitation supply. It is located within predominantly low-lying swampy geography that exacerbate water and sanitation challenges.
