Busoga Uganda Link
|
Our Church has a strong partnership link with the Busoga region of Uganda. Church members have been actively involved in supporting education, health and income generation enterprises here. Members of our congregation visit regularly 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:
Carbon Offsetting: A scheme has been set up where people can offset their carbon by supporting monthly monitoring of thousands of trees planted to sequester carbon across more than a dozen sites in the Bugiri district of Busoga, Uganda. Read more about it and how to go about offsetting your carbon in this blog.
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.
Please read this important and likely final update on The Barbara Project.
Small Businesses: Enabling the development of small businesses which include fruit drying, solar power, forestry and regenerative crops.
Schools: Enabling improvements to schools through the provision of mosquito nets, school desks, books, stationery, 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.
