Updates through early September, 2022.
The maternity facility the apprentices completed earlier this year is in constant use by the community for prenatal visits and births. Recently three babies were born in the facility in one day!
Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) status was recently granted to Teach Men to Fish by the Ugandan government. Becoming a “legal entity” will allow benefits such as sales tax relief when purchasing equipment and supplies as well as the possibility of more local financial support.
The two students enrolled in business administration courses at Uganda Christian University (UCU) recently began internships that are required for completion of their degrees. One student will be working at the Bank of Uganda in Kampala and one will be working at the municipality head offices in Mityana. We are very proud of both of them! One student, Muwonge Gideon Yudah, was recently elected to the position of Speaker in the UCU Business Student Society.
The new project that is planned for this year when Patrick goes back is a new two-story outpatient surgical center for people in the area surrounding the village of Myanzi. It will be a several year project. Groundbreaking will take place on January 14 with the Bishop of Mityana presiding.
