COMMUNITY MEANS GATHERING TOGETHER
In August of 2014 a generous donor gave $4,000.00 to the RTC Luwero Community Center in Uganda, Africa.
The money was given so that the community children could have a safe playground where they could play together while their
Grandmother Guardians were having meetings, attending classes or just resting after working on their Grandmas Gardens plots.
The older children would help their Grandmothers in the gardens or watch the younger children.
Eventually the center became a gathering place for all the women, some men and all of the children in the community.
In spite of their efforts to maintain all of the playground equipment (swings, slide, jungle gym, merry-go-rounds and basketball hoops)
after 7 years of wear and tear, some of the equipment just needs to be re-painted and some of it just needs to be replaced.
The center itself has been there much longer and is also in need of repair, painting and improvements.
The walls and floors are cracking. The community water tank needs to be replaced. The whole building needs to be repainted.
This favorite community gathering place is a luxury for these poor, hard-working people. They cannot afford to fix it.
They are willing to labor and do as much as they can, but they need help with the expenses of materials and expertise.
Please help us provide a place where friends and neighbors can lift and support each other when they meet as a community.
Please help us provide a safer place for the community children to play.

Be part of WORLD WATER DAY! Be part of the SOLUTION!
It is a little-known fact that Africa has hundreds of dirty, disease ridden natural springs that all have running water most of the year.
The mud pools they create are all over the countries of Uganda and Kenya where we serve.
Thousands of families go daily to these springs to collect water in jerry-cans or plastic buckets. They use this filthy water for all of their needs.
For approximately $1,750 per spring, we can transform these cesspools into CLEAN, SAFE water outlets; for drinking, cooking and personal hygiene.
The water can also be used for farm animals, kitchen gardens, and small field irrigation so, a family can produce food to help sustain life.
Each spring can serve up to approximately 1000 individuals. That is a HUGE bang for the buck!11

ongoing ProjectS
EDUCATION
Almost 60 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa between the ages of 15 and 17 are not in school. Most of them are girls. Teaching girls about menstruation, how to sew reusable pads, and providing teen sponsorship's, is reducing these numbers. |
WATER AND AGRICULTURE
This is a picture of Khufikoko Spring in Western Kenya before and after we provided a way to turn muddy, bacteria-infested ground water into clean, clear drinking water. Each spring we refurbish costs approx. $1750. Each spring provides clean water for 20 to 50 families. Each family can have 3 to 10 children. Each spring is a blessing in the lives of a lot of people. |
HEALTH
When a child is ill they cannot attend school, thus their chances of becoming self-reliant are slim. We focus on wellness by providing vaccines, medical supplies, and medical clinics where our doctors and nurses work with local medical people to administer medical help to individuals in the greatest need. |
