MEALS: A contribution of just £5 per child per month will provide a full, nutritionally balanced meal every school day for a Kisasa child. Part of this funding will be used to introduce a self-sustainable food growing and management system in order that the school will eventually be able to take responsibility for producing its own food. DESKS: There is currently a shortage of 180 desks in a school with over 1200 students. Each desk sits 3 children and costs £33 per desk that’s £11 per child. If you buy a single seat or a whole desk, you may apply your name or the name of someone special you nominate as a gift. We’ll email you or your nominated recipient a uniquely numbered voucher confirming your purchase. When your desk is built and labelled, we’ll send you a digital photograph of it. (Hopefully with a smiling student sitting on it, or three if you buy a whole desk)! To donate to AZAR or buy a student seat or full desk click the Make A Donation link on the right.

Adonai UK supports the work of Adonai Family Uganda (AFU), a Ugandan NGO based in Namugoga. Their mission is to reach the needy and vulnerable. We coordinate child sponsorship, raise funds for specific projects, and raise awareness of the need in Uganda and the work of AFU. Adonai - Where Love Becomes Action We believe that every child deserves a decent start in life. That's why we support the work of Adonai Child Development Centre - part of AFU. Here children are not only given a good education at Adonai Primary School but are also cared for holistically. Adonai children are looked after in terms of health, food, clothing and pastoral needs. Some of the children need the safety of a secure refuge to stay in either on a permanent or temporary basis. Others just need support so that their extended families can take care of them. All this takes a great deal of work and a wealth of resources. So how can you help? A one-off donation of £5 will buy a mosquito net. A simple but potentially lifesaving piece of equipment. A donation of £5 will buy sheets so that a child can sleep in comfort. A regular donation of £5 per week (£20 per month) will change a child’s life. Sponsorship will mean that they will be included on the Adonai health care and food programmes, have their school resources needs met, and be kept a loving and watchful eye on by Aloysious Luswata and his team. Any amount donated to the food programme, no matter how big or small, will help ensure that more children and their families receive food supplies. Any amount donated to the Health Care programme, no matter how big or small, will help ensure that an adequate supply of medicine can be kept and hospital treatment provided when needed. Would you consider supporting one of the adults who care for these precious children? As the number of children needing care grows, so does the need for adults to care for them. Houseparents and teachers all need salaries. £40 per month would fund a houseparent but any amount paid on a regular basis, or as a one off donation, would help greatly. A vocational project is underway to teach the children valuable farming skills as well as aiding Adonai to become more self-sufficient. We’ve bought land but now need to build accommodation on it for the children to stay in when receiving training; to fund carers to look after them; to employ a farm manager. Any amount as a one-off donation or regular payment will help. AFU is encouraging and supporting micro-finance projects in the local community so that families become self-sufficient. Would you consider helping a project to get started? For more information on any of the above or any other matters relating to our work please email us at [email protected]

Akamba Aid works in the north-east province of Kenya, in the Horn of Africa, one of the most arid parts of the world, among some of the poorest people in Africa. Most are living on an income of less than one dollar (60p) a day. Famine is a constant neighbour, and needless to say because of the poverty, basic Education and Healthcare are difficult to afford. Since 1999 Akamba Aid, a small Somerset based charity has been trying to give the communities some of the basic essentials of life, that we enjoy and have done for generations. WHAT DO WE DO? Clean Water Together with our sister charity the "Wishing for a Well Appeal" we construct shallow wells (60 - 100ft. deep) and fit Afridev hand pumps in suitable locations to provide clean, fresh, safe water, for the first time. For many this is the first time they have tasted water free from the many diseases which contaminate the traditional sources. Food In times of drought and famine we provide emergency food aid rations to poor families, especially the elderly, children and orphans. This is to supplement the rations given by Kenyan government and UN supplies. Affordable Healthcare We build new health facilities and support several others with building maintenance and equipment. Our "Harambee" scheme offers discount cards to the poor to halve the cost of out-patient treatment at rural clinics, and pays the premium of the state NHIF insurance scheme which gives free in-patient care at state hospitals. Education Primary education is now compulsory and "free" in Kenya, although buildings and equipment must be provided by the communities who suffer from poverty. AAF builds new classrooms for schools where needed to a higher standard and helps with equipment. We also have a small number of bright students who receive assisted sponsorships at secondary schools. 2009-09-02

The Waterside Charitable Trust raises funds for health, sanitation and youth programmes in Africa. Its main focus is currently in Kenya and in the slums of the city of Kisumu. Kisumu, on the banks of Lake Victoria is Kenyas third largest city. Most of our work is carried out in Obunga, home to 12,000 people who live in shanty buildings made of iron sheet and wood and who earn less than $1 a day. Toilets in the area are simple pit latrines that feed into the dirty river that runs through Obunga, helping spread disease. Thusfar we have built one toilet block, a community centre and have helped numerous small businesses in an effort to raise the standard of living. We are currently constructing a youth centre modeled on that of one of our partner organisations, The Hunslet Club in Leeds.
