Ngogwe
HIV and AIDS is causing significant concern in Ngogwe
The introduction of universal primary education in Uganda in 1997 increased enrolment rates,
placing pressure on classrooms and materials. Some classes are held outside or in leaky classrooms,
latrines are in poor condition and there isn’t any water available. Many teachers are inadequately trained.
Large class sizes result in poor achievement and high dropout rates.
Water and sanitation
Poor hygiene and sanitation, and environments that encourage mosquitoes to
breed all contribute to high risk of malaria, diarrhoea and dysentery.
Women and children spend many hours collecting often-contaminated water from long distances.
The ADP began in September 2007 and assists 30,000 people from 73 villages.
Most families from Ngogwe grow their own food. Major crops include sorghum, beans, potatoes and peas.
Women mostly tend these gardens while men may grow cash crops such as coffee, vanilla and bananas.
Some families keep a few goats, cows, pigs or poultry. Harvests often fail to meet families’
needs because of infertile soils and poor farming methods.
The ADP assists families to meet their needs by helping them establish income-generating activities. Teenagers are facilitated to join vocational training courses.

Barnanbas Fund
Water Projects Fund A number of Barnabas Fund projects help to provide drinking water for Christian communities in situations of discrimination or persecution.
The most basic physical need is surely clean, safe water. Those who persecute Christians know this and sometimes use it against them. Nearly a hundred converts from Islam to Christianity in a village in Uzbekistan were refused access to drinking water. Twenty-two Vietnamese Christian families were forced to leave their village and settle in another area where there was no source of clean water. In Sri Lanka a pastor and his family were attacked by an angry mob and the well where they got their drinking water from was deliberately contaminated, causing children who drank it to fall ill.
What’s New
Oral Rehydration Appleal.
Just $40 will help save 400 children’s lives
Dehydration will kill over 4,000 children in the next 24 hours. And without our help, millions of distraught parents in developing countries have no way to make their children well again – though a simple, life-saving treatment exists. It’s called Oral Rehydration Therapy. It’s a mixture of salt and sugar that, when added to water and sipped, is the only way to ger the body of a severely dehydrated child to absorb the water it needs to survive.
A single sachet costs just 10 cents
Dehydration from diarrhoea kills 1.5 million children every year, 80 per cent of them under two years old.
This can’t be right when the solution is so cheap and so simple. Suddenly, 10 cents is extraordinarily valuable
