Eric Kihuluka and the Mikwano Project in Kaliro, Uganda, have continued their training of teachers and clan leaders in the District. At an exhibition attended by 80,000 people the local king celebrated the work of Discover and urged clan leaders and schools to take natural healthcare seriously.

Where tippy taps have been set up outside school toilets, the incidence of diarrhoea and other complaints has dropped significantly.

In Maliba, near Kasese, Uganda, there has been a terrible outbreak of typhoid. Many people have died. Robert Bwambale and his Bumbura (meaning Discover) Maliba group visited 102 households and discreetly inspected the toilets. They found a clear correlation between the condition of the toilet and the number of family members who were, or had been, ill. Bumbura Maliba will conduct training for the entire village in hygiene, with particular emphasis on the importance of hand washing using a tippy-tap. Read their report here.

Discover partners are raring to go …..

….. but they simply need financial support for their teaching materials, food and transport.

BioGardens in Kasese and Jaford in Nyirivu are projects in regions that have suffered drought. The DRIP project in the UK and the Uganda Water Project in the USA are willing to provide their labour free of charge to install rainwater catchment tanks. Each tank in Kasese costs 60 GBP. We aim to provide 50 such tanks. So far we have raised money for 16 tanks. Read more.
Eric Kihuluka and the Mikwano Project in Kaliro, Uganda, for their work in schools.
The Kasese Network in Uganda for their programme of training farmers in drought resistant agriculture.
Ben, Alice and Freda in Butere, Kenya, who wish to support and further train their neighbours in surrounding villages in natural healthcare.

These very committed people and groups are all ready to run very valuable training events in their localities. Every little helps! Please think about making a monthly contribution, however small, so that the flow of educational training events in these poor, drought ridden communities can continue.
