Project Villages

These projects are in the bush regions of Uganda and cover the ethos of Aim for Change - Education, Health care and Self sufficiency.

In some regions, one such area is Olep in the district of Soriti, whole communities are benefiting; this includes, fresh water boreholes, purchase of extra land for cultivation including fruit trees, animal farming, sewing machines and training in the art of pattern making.

Many new projects were begun in 2009: bicycles for those who work the sewing machines in Olep; plus pigs, goats, chicken, 100 chicks, charcoal, food retail shop and trees. Bicycles have been supplied to many project areas.

Other projects include; funding for a school in Masindi and a clinic. Also a large pig project has now received funding for general breeding, which will enable the charity to purchase pigs and supply them to other areas.

     

Individual animals are given to families, for example, if a pig is given it might breed in the region of 8 piglets. As the animals grow, we advise the family give two away to families in other areas who have no animals. Two or three piglets can be sold and so the process of education can begin from the proceeds, for at least one child and the remainder of piglets (hopefully females!) they keep for further breeding. This spin-off process, as with the community projects, has a great impact on many, many lives. All animals purchased are interbred to provide self sufficiency.

2010 saw the commencement of many small businesses and animal projects, including: general store shops, clinic, charcoal, large chicken project, pigs, churches, sewing shop and training centre.
