Community Fire Fighting

$20,000

 Rotary Club of Source of the Nile in Uganda - District 9200 seeks partnership with a Rotary Club that that will mobilize and provide a used but functional fire fighting truck. This project aims at providing a fire fighting truck and training of people in basic fire fighting methods in the community of Jinja town.
The need for a fire fighting engine was identified as a result of the inadequecy in the Fire Brigade response to a spate of fire outbreaks in the recent past in the town of Jinja due to absence of a fire fighting truck. The estimated budget for associated taxes and freight is USD20000 which should be used only when the truck has been donated in kind. Our Rotary club will be responsible for joint supervision with the local authorities in use of the fire fighting truck and working with the Municipality Police to initiate training of the community members in fire fighting methods. | | |
