Grace's campaign for CARE FOR KUFFU
Donation protected
Do you want to join us in making a difference? We're raising money for CARE FOR KUFFU and any donation will help make an impact. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us.
We're raising funds to start building a clinic building in Kuffu in Nakaske District, Uganda. The village was badly affected by the regime of Idi Amin and then by the impact of the Bush Wars between 1981 and 1986. This impacted every aspect of village life with women raped, animals and property stolen and the terrorisation of the people, including children.
The final blow came when AIDS swept the population and further undermined the foundations of the community resulting in an orphaned generation with low self-esteem, no skills and extreme poverty.
Thanks to the generous donations of our members and the dedication of the team on the ground, the village has already developed significantly over the last couple of years. From its humble beginnings in 2009 with just 60 children attending lessons in outside classrooms, the school now supports over 250 children in 8 classrooms, with a full staff of teachers.
In addition to the digging of a well for fresh water and provision of a basic electricity supply there are also a simple but functional community centre, private rooms for medical treatment from visiting doctors and nurses and a purpose-built kitchen providing food for the children and teachers.
The proposed clinic building will enable medical staff to provide on-site care with medical facilities to hand. Some people from our church are going out to Kuffu in July, and would love to take funds with them then. Any and all donations would be really appreciated!
