The first village in the Sponsor a Village<\/strong> program is Kinawa Aidah, in Kyengera, Uganda. Poverty is high, literacy is low, employment prospects are few, and vocational training is scarce. All of the sub-projects have been well-received. They are aimed at raising the capacity of the local people to better themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We installed a 1,000-liter water storage tank. This is for water harvesting to serve the school\u2019s need for drinking water, water for washing, and water for the school\u2019s garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ovens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We installed two commercial ovens, allowing the vocational center to both train students in baking skills, and provide nutritious baked goods to help feed the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sewing machines<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We purchased four commercial sewing machines to train seamstresses at the school\u2019s vocational center. Students will sew uniforms, linens, dresses, and other common textile goods. They will learn a high-demand skill that will serve them for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unique Women Club Cooperative micro-loan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A $1,000 loan to the Unique Women Club cooperative was used to purchase goats for milk, meat, and breeding. This will foster entrepreneurship and self-sufficiency among the Club\u2019s women. The loan will be repaid every four months and recycled into new loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garden of Eatin\u2019<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project developed the garden space into a teaching space, teaching the children small-scale horticulture skills. The vegetables will help feed the children at the school. The skills will be taken home so the children might help feed their own families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save a Girl<\/em><\/strong> \u2122<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 200 girls have been given, free of charge, TGUP Save a Girl<\/em><\/strong> \u2122 kits. The kits help the girls manage their period so they can attend school every day of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

School Supplies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every student in the school has been provided with essential school supplies including notebooks, pencils, erasers, and other items. These dramatically improve their capacity to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
