Busoga Uganda Link
Our Church has a strong partnership link with the Parish of Bupadhengo in the Diocese of Busoga, Uganda. Church members have been actively involved in supporting education, health and income generation projects in the Busoga region. Members of our congregation visit each year to develop friendships, and we have been privileged on a number of occasions to host our Ugandan friends here in Southampton.
Church members have set up a registered charity called Enable Busoga, partnering with Ugandan colleagues to support the following programmes:
The Barbara Project: Enabling the disabled children in remote village locations in Busoga, by providing appropriate mobility equipment, running workshops on disability awareness prevention and treatment so enabling the Ugandans to provide improved quality of life for disabled village children.
Small Businesses: Enabling the development of small businesses which include fruit drying, solar power and Forestry.
Schools: Enabling improvements to schools through the provision of mosquito nets, school desks, books, stationary, kitchen equipment and appropriate accommodation for teachers.

A team of seven from our church visited our link partnerships in July 2016. Below are some video highlights of their trip.
