3. Health: $10,000 will be used for medical equipment to reopen the local clinic that has been closed for a few years. $1,500 will be used to start a safe motherhood, child health & HIV/AIDS counseling and testing project.
4. Community Development and Microcredit: $6,000 will be used to buy furniture and a solar energy system for the local community center. $10,000 will be used to start a microcredit project in the village. $15,000 will be used to buy farm equipment to help the local community to process maize, cassava, millet and fruits.

DG Eric of D9200 visited the project on the 3rd of July accompanied by about 30 Rotarians and guests from Kampala North as well as AG Henry Kimera and new outbound VTT leader Philip Katamba. He handed over a full functional computer lab/library: refurbished, burglar-proofed, and painted. Reading desks in place and lockable bookshelves all mounted with books. Power supplied for now by by a 2KVA generator until mains power is delivered. DG Eric also handed over a motor-cycle for the Loans Officer, the first batch of drugs procured under the grant, and a symbolic cheque to start off the lending programme (actual programme awaits of the opening of a dedicated account by NKDU later this week). Education component now has only the training and monitoring components remaining.
