KIBAALE COMMUNITY CENTRE
The Kibaale Community Centre has been transforming lives in the Rakai District of Uganda by providing healthcare, development resources and a quality Christian education to the most vulnerable in our community. Each of the nursery, primary, secondary and vocational students are chosen from disadvantaged homes in a region that has been devastated by HIV/AIDS and extreme poverty. The care each of these children receives from dedicated staff members allows them to overcome their challenging circumstances, improve their lives and the lives of their families. We would love for you to consider becoming a partner of Kuwasha as we continue our work supporting the Kibaale Community Centre in Uganda.
KIBAALE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTRE
You can help provide quality health care in the Rakai District of Uganda by giving to the Kibaale Community Health Centre. Your donation will be used to provide medical care to over 20,000 patients annually which includes; maternity services, overnight wards, immunizations, and purchasing necessary supplies like antibiotics and treatment for at least 10,000 cases of malaria annually. We also have a special focus on HIV/AIDS tests and treatment in an area with the highest rate of infection in the country. The cost of running the Kibaale Community Health Centre exceeds $200,000 per year and your partnership is vital to providing this service.
KIBAALE COMMUNITY CENTRE KITCHEN
Every year we provide nearly 700,000 meals to the staff and students. Most of the students in our school come from very vulnerable home situations, the meal they eat while at school is likely the only one they will have each day. The cost of running this necessary program at the Kibaale Community Centre Schools is $50,000 per year.
THRIVE GARDENS
Thrive educates parents of our students to use their land for healthier and more sustainable farming. We also started a Thrive Garden at our school kitchen so that staff and students will be eating healthier meals. We will be growing the program next year to support 360 families! You can support Thrive for $80/month or $1000/year
WATER PROJECT
Water is essential to life. Access to clean water can be a challenge for families in Kibaale. Donating towards a water project makes a significant difference to the overall health of the community.
KUWASHA COFFEE FARM
In early 2021, the Kibaale Community Centre acquired a neighbouring piece of land that is around 50 acres. Since then we have planted over 3,400 coffee plants, and by the end of 2022 another 10,000 plants are planned to be in the ground.
This initiative will serve two purposes: Revenue that can be created by the sale of the coffee will support the KCC Health Centre, the second is job creation in the Rakai District.
