What is a "Project"?
A "project" is what we call a specific planned undertaking, usually a capital-cost building or venture, such as construction of a children's home, school, medical clinic, or water system.

Northern Uganda Orphans Project
Helping children in greatest need

It is estimated that in Northern Uganda alone, there are over $1000, 000.00 orphaned children scavenging the streets daily to secure food and a safe place to sleep. While looking only for what they need to endure another day, they are being strongly recruited into the terrorist networks that oppose the current government. Ignored and left to fend for themselves, with no hope for education or good instilled values, many will inevitably slide toward destructive activities or loose their lives

About Uganda's Orphans Project
Asayo's Wish is concentrating on providing shelter, food, clean water, clothing and educational material for these orphaned children. Currently there is no systemic official organization that takes care of orphans in Uganda. We are working with a small group of very dedicated men and women in Uganda to provide these necessities to an initial group of 150 orphans.

The Asayo's Wish Orphans Project seeks to:
Provide housing, food, clean water, and clothing.
Provide funds to build houses for orphans.
Provide funds to allow the children to participate in educational programs.
Provide means for individuals in the U.S. to foster some of these children
Providing aid to these unfortunate children is not only moral and compassionate but also necessary to ensure a peaceful and stable Uganda.

Build schools in Northern Uganda
Educating the Children of Northern Uganda

Though the primary mission of Asayo's Wish is to mentor the community to be self-sustaining, Sarah has a passion for helping the children of Northern Uganda. Sarah believes that if we can educate the young, they will bring a bright future to the country. Asayo's wish will help by Building new schools and refurbishing a run-down school that needs extensive repairs and classroom equipment.

Asayo's Wish would like to build a schools in an outlying villages which has no school at this time. Educating the children of Northern Uganda is crucial to improving the lives of the children and the future of the country.

In the built-up areas there are schools but they are usually run down and do not have adequate classroom space. The buildings are in need of repair with broken windows and doors. In the outlying areas, schools are very scarce.

Asayo would like funding to refurbish and rebuild some of the schools and to build a new school for some villages just north of Kaberamaido. The cost of the new school is estimated at $53,000 and would include a science lab complete with sinks, work space, and running water.

Asayo's Wish would like to sponsor the building of the new classrooms as well as providing the equipment needed for the science lab. Donations of any amount would be greatly appreciated.

What does your donation buy?
$30 buys a door
$10 buys a window
$142 buys a microscope for the science lab
$10 buys prepared slide kits

Library Books for Ugandan Children
Help kids who want to read and learn with books for children's libraries.

Schools constantly face resource problems. Whether it's textbooks or teachers, soccer balls or scissors, school administrators always operate with limited, often insufficient, resources, particularly in developing countries like Uganda.

Most schools in Uganda lack basic educational resources. Class sizes in Uganda average well over 100 students. There is obvious scarcity of resources most classrooms have only one tattered textbook to share between the students AND the teacher. Other materials like pencils and paper are scarce, and many schools don't have clean drinking water, or even a building to meet in.

It is troubling to see so many children living and going to school in these circumstances when with so little effort unimaginably significant impact is possible. So many affluent nations and people apparently find it impossible to take the time and responsibility to even notice these challenges, let alone respond to them."

We would like to provide children's books identified by Ugandan Ministry of Education. The books will be used to create children's libraries in community centers, hospitals and schools.

Hospital Supplies for Northern Uganda WAR and AIDS in Northern Uganda:
Asayo's wish has identified a project the community is in desperate need of…Hospital supplies; Asayo's Wish would like to provide critical supplies from necessary medical equipment to basic items like stethoscopes to improve the conditions and capabilities at this vital hospital in one of the poorest.

Kaberamiado is situated in one of the poorest parts of Northern Uganda. None of us have ever seen anything in the States to compare it to. The impression of the facility in Kaberamiado is something akin to what you would imagine the inside a poorly managed prison might look like.

Currently, proposed projects for the Clinic include a new facility electrical and plumbing system, updated medical systems and machines, stock-piling medical supplies and providing medical training.

We feel the largest need, is "non-perishable" medical supplies that the facility can use.

It is our view that devoting resources to this project will influence the lives of thousands of Ugandans through improved health care, increase positive out look of life.

Clean Water for the orphanage and the community.
Kaberamaindo, a sub division of the impoverished Teso District, lies in Northern Uganda. It is an agricultural society where only 15% of the populations, of 80,000, have access to clean water. The rest rely mostly on open seasonal ponds for their water needs.

The ponds are highly contaminated with EColi and other water born contaminates spreading intestinal disease throughout the community.

The government accepts 10-20 counts of E-Coli per 100 mm. Water quality analysis of the pond water in Kaberamaido shows an average of 1,000 counts of E-Coli per 100mm.

Wherever the Need, working in partnership with the Community Council, Asayo's Wish would like to provide clean water to the area by constructing a number of new wells with the aim of reducing the E-Coli count to zero.

The cost of each facility will be approximately £2,000 and each well will serve around 500 people, effectively meaning clean water and all of its benefits can be provided at a cost of just £4 per head. The ongoing maintenance of the wells is paramount as according to national statistics in Uganda only 30% of newly created water sources remain operational due to the lack of maintenance and training.

Asayo's Wish will set up a full support program for each of the wells. It will train pump mechanics that, with the well caretaker and the well management committee, are responsible for each installation. They are backed up, if necessary, by the Diocesan well maintenance team to ensure long term sustainability. Each water source will be communally owned and the whole community is trained in matters of health and hygiene in order to obtain the full benefits of access to clean water.

Helping Uganda and the continent of Africa achieve at least the minimum living standards is an essential task for the world. Providing clean water, the most basic of needs, simply helps to restore the most common right of all human beings.

It is worth remembering that today and every day, 6,000 children worldwide will die of a water related diseases. In context this is approximately one Tsunami per month.

Sewing Machines for Women in the Village
Putting economic power in women's hands

Asayo's Wish is responding to the request of the local women asking to help them by providing sewing machines for them.

Through the generosity of our donors and friends, Asayo's wish would like to able to respond to their request by providing 100 machines. The sewing machines provide women in the area with the opportunity to earn a living - some for the first time.

These centers will employ women to do piece-work in order to provide poor Ugandan affordable clothing. We would like to provide the machines and some seed money with the intent that these Women be self sufficient in about 3 months. Thereby giving women a chance to make a living, as well as make clothes for themselves and their families.
