MTA, CTA, Alcor Science & Literacy

Donation protected
100% FUNDED!  Thank You

The Mormon Transhumanist Association (MTA), members of the Christian Transhumanist Association  (CTA), and the Alcor Life Extension Foundation  have teamed up in a charitable project that promotes transhumanist values.

MTA, members of the CTA & Alcor have established a Science & Literacy Center" in the market area of Kyarumba, a small village in rural western Uganda.
Carpentry Workshop for Orphans will construct and paint a sign for the center, displayed at the entrance.  

The "Literacy" section will contain books for the community, and be the "Library" for the nearby Vision Care Primary School.


The "Science" section will have calculators, telescope, magnets, maps of Earth & the solar system, syringes, vials, human anatomy models...A record of the center's usage and effectiveness will be provided by Joseph Kasibirehe, a Kyarumba community activist who will serve as the town's liason to MTA and CTA.

In Uganda, English literacy  is an essential requirement in escaping poverty, due to its prevalence in the rapidly-expanding tourist and business sector.  


Science is also critically important. Fatal diseases - malaria, AIDS, infections - can be curtailed via knowledge of hygiene and scientific principles. Agriculture - Uganda's primary export  - can also be enhanced via scientific knowledge.

Kyarumba (in Kasese district) has a higher percentage of HIV/AIDS  and orphaned children than Uganda's urban areas, due to poverty  and regional civil wars. 

MTA, members of the CTA, and Alcor's assistance to Kyarumba's residents via this center illustrates the transhumanist values of advancing prosperity and education.
