Donor Successes!

This section is a record of donations received and what they have afforded in the field. Thanks to those who have contributed for your generosity, from myself and on behalf of my Ugandan friends and colleagues.

Vincent & Roger, London: Windows and Doors For Ojama Health Centre









Their £1000 donation also covered the first stages of flooring the interior, moving the crucial health-centre substantially further towards completion. See 'Project: Ojama Medical Health Centre' in the tabs at right for more info.


Gill & Tim, Winchester: An important operation








Modesta is one of the women I met when working on the new chicken farm (see the 'Project: Chicken Farm' tab, at right). Aged 12, her daughter fell from a ladder, broke her femur and had steel pins inserted to repair the break. Six months after she ought to have had them removed, but her parents couldn't afford the treatment. Now 19, she had been limping and suffering increasing pain. £150 from Gill and Tim afforded the operation and she can now walk without limping again.


Rob, from Sydney, & Jennifer, Port Macquarie, Australia: life-saving quinnine for children like Baby Po









Baby Po is Dr Denis's daughter (see 'Dr Denis Omiat' in tabs at right). Shortly after I left Uganda last, she contracted cerebral malaria. She would have died without essential hospitalization and venous medication.

40 children like her were given the chance to live with quinnine, infusing solution and glucose solution, purchased at a cost of $120AU donated by Rob from Sydney and Jennifer from Port Macquarie, NSW. That sum provided vital treatment for three days, by which time government supplies arrived at the village health centre. Had we not been able to provide the drugs, many of the children would likely have died.

Baby Po herself is now doing well at home. Her father Dr Denis and I are talking about ways in which to launch an anti-malarial education program in the village.
