PROJECTS
The Busesa Community has been impacted greatly by Library. From humble beginnings in a small house the library now provides:
- Access to learning resources such as books and computer-based learning programs.
- Story- telling and group reading sessions.
- Room for personal study
The facility is equipped with enough books, and a few computers. Just like the clinic it is solar powered. Power from the national grid is unreliable and most of the children have no access to electricity in their homes. The library provides access for afterhours reading and other activities.
Private reading areas have been created. There are a number of computer stations for both children and adults .
In collaboration with Techies without borders the library will be a center for continuing education for medical providers in the area.
The upper has audiovisual equipment now. The library regularly hosts training seminars for adults.
Hope Children’s Clinic
Hope children’s clinic was started to provide affordable comprehensive health care to the children of Busesa and surrounding areas. It is the first of it is kind in the area.
The clinic has been busy serving children from a wide area. We managed to survey our users. Satisfaction was excellent. Commonest complaint was lack of admission facilities. Unfortunately, the clinic cannot serve as a full-service hospital. We would like to expand the location to provide more lab services, dental and eye care when resources are available. Main obstacle is land for expansion.
We plan to expand our services to other areas in the Busoga region. We are scouting potential locations. We believe that our model of healthcare provision has the potential of transforming healthcare in the whole region.
Our mission is to eventually make sure that every child in the community has access to at least a well visit once a year free charge. We intend to go to those that cannot come to the clinic. Acute care services are provided at a flat fee (Medications included) with a free follow up visit for those that need to be rechecked.
Busoga Children’s Orchestra
We believe that music is very important in the intellectual growth of children. The foundation started an Orchestra for the children who use the library. They have already won accolades for their performances. Great appreciation to our friends that have donated instruments for the children to use.
