Sustainability In addition to the big enterprises of poultry, fish, and cows, some smaller projects are being developed. Two of those are improving the health and hygiene of the school.
Rehema and her team have been busy making cough syrups from the Mustard Seed herbal gardens. The syrups are cheaper, but they are also better than those bought at the pharmacies. They have immune-building ingredients. Students and staff have benefitted, with less illness and fewer visits to the clinic.
When soap prices doubled in three months, our Ugandan leaders suggested making our own, which delighted us. Many of you supported the idea and donated over $2000. Liquid soap was ready quickly for use at the hand-washing stations and for doing dishes. The bar soap was made at the same time, but it needed to cure for 1-2 months. The first soap bars are being distributed now, and we are getting exciting messages from the team in Uganda. Who knew that soap could be so exciting? Because of your generous response, staff and students will make more soap each month. Some will become soap-makers extraordinaire and will go on to develop their own enterprises.
What was a crisis has become an opportunity and blessing thanks to your rapid and generous response! |
