Water Pipeline Proposal
Extending tapped water to Buhanga.The villagers have to walk 3.5 kms to reach fresh water.The only local water is from an unprotected well full of pathogens. Many children have diarrhea.The project requires purchase of pipes & other materials.
Food Needs
Many Subsaharan children receive only one meal a day - Dinner.
In the morning they go to school without breakfast, then they receive no lunch.
By the afternoon they are too hungry to learn at school.
Chicken Project
We raised enough funds to purchase 490 egg-laying chickens - plus feeders, drinkers, grain, coops and
vaccinations.
This provided enough food to support the lunch food program and the clinic.
Future Path Classroom
Meredith Newman Debens of Australia provided funds to build a new brick classroom,
plus she designed and paid for the classroom furniture
Girls Needs
Many girls in Subsaharan Africa drop out of school
when they hit puberty, because they cannot afford menstrual pads.
Orphans
In western Uganda, 13% of children are orphans.They are the poorest of the poor.
They are often unable to go to school, because they cannot pay the school tuition,
the fees for books and the school uniforms.
MicroLoans
In SubSaharan Africa, interest rates on a loan are astronomically high -- 50% to 100% percent.
A low interest loan can help lift people out of poverty.We provide no interest loans of $500,
to be paid back after 6 months or a year.
