Uganda, Mukono

Community Transformation

Located just north of Lake Victoria, this town of 50,000 is at the heart of the wealthy district of Mukono. With a close proximity to the country’s capital and the international airport, Mukono town is used as a center for business and essential goods and services. Along with wholesale and retail businesses, agriculture is the other major economic activity, which includes the production of coffee, tea, vanilla, sugar and bananas. The population of the town of Mukono is typical of Africa, with just under half of its people below the age of 18. There are over 1 million children in Uganda who have been orphaned by AIDS; our goal is to provide numerous opportunities for community transformation by working alongside Noah’s Ark Children’s Ministry.

Vocational Secondary School
Our goal is to partner with Noah's Ark Children's Home in order to construct a vocational secondary school. This school will be visionary in Uganda, where all of the learning is purely theoretical rather than practical. The school will transform the community as it equips a generation with the skills necessary to survive and support a family.

Primary School (P1-P3)
Our goal is to partner with Noah's Ark Children's Home in order to construct primary schools within the rural communities of Mukono district. These schools will allow orphaned children living with extended families in 6-7 nearby villages an opportunity to go to school and get much-needed education.

Noah's Ark Children's Home believes that family is an important stape in a heathly upbringin for children. They plan on housing orphaned and abandoned children in Family Unit Homes, with 10 kids sharing one house mom in an effort to bring about a sense of stability and community for these kids.

Diary Farm 
Noah's Ark Children's Home has begun a small but sustainable dairy operation consisting of three cows. Previously they were buying 20-25 liters of milk a day for the orphanage, but now milk produced from the cows is used, saving over $12 a day. The plan is to add more cows to the farm to provide longevity to the yearly production.
