Thomas Charities-Uganda operates approximately fifty acres of land and a piggery provided to over one thousand women and fifty men to farm and reap. Most are widows and former sex-slaves held by rebels in northern Uganda with no property of their own. The women keep the profits and manage their own funds. In addition, seed-funding is provided to several women's/widow's groups who operate various microenterprises such as catering, chickens, small goods shops, and sewing. 54674 54674 0 East Africa Literacy Programs and Education. 1. Thomas Charities sponsors teacher seminars to enhance and encourage local teachers who themselves have minimal training. 2. Fatherless children within various villages are provided school fees, uniforms, and supplies to Primary Schools. The local Primary Schools are also provided with additional basic school supplies that villagers cannot afford. Students/orphans are provided scholarships to Secondary School, Vocational, and College Level Schools. The sponsorships include mentorship, medical care, and additional support for their success. Adolescent girls face extreme vulnerability, and teen pregnancies are over 34% in northern Uganda. Education is one of the best ways to lift them and their families out of poverty and abuse. 3. Local pastors and lay leaders are given biblical instruction and discipleship that has grown into over 46 indigenous church plants. 93177 93177 0 Medical Center and General Medical Expenses. Thomas Charities operates a full-time Medical and Maternity Care Center and runs Mobile Medical Clinics in rural areas in Northern Uganda, where access to local medical care is difficult or nonexistent. The Medical Center is the dominant medical services provider in the District and sub-county of over 40,000 persons. 70% of all global maternal deaths occur in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Medical Center is saving the lives of mothers and babies. In addition, the Center is the dominant provider of life-saving vaccines in the region. 9277 9277 0 Community Development. This program consists of capital building and renovation projects such as Latrines, Medical Health Center, and the future Vocational School, Granary, and Literacy Center, and Water Wells - throughout Nwoya District in Northern Uganda, Thomas Charities drills and maintains water wells. This region has no electricity or sanitation. The villagers get their water from either rain water, bore holes (water wells) or more commonly a dirty stagnant watering hole shared with animals.
