    Situation

    There are many churches in East Africa but little training for local people to overcome poverty, poor health and business development. Through our child sponsorship programmes and Economic Cell Group concept we can provide start up funds to groups who want to start a business and be economically free. We expect to train 25 people each 6 months and assign them to areas of development. We need funds to pay for both the setting up of the school and busaries for the students. £150,000 which will build a school, clinic for the local community on site and library and primary school.
