 LAKE BUNYONYI
Lake Bunyonyi means a ("Place of many little birds") lies in south western Uganda between Kisoro and Kabale close to the border with Rwanda. Located at 1,962 m above sea level, it is about 25 km long and 7 km wide. The depth of the lake is rumored to vary between 44 m and 900 m, which if true would make the lake the second deepest in Africa.It is one of the few lakes in the region that is rumored to be free of bilharzia and safe for swimming, however, this claim is not verifiable and patrons of the lake have tested positive as recently as 2012. The lake appears on the 5,000 Ugandan shilling note under the title "Lake Bunyonyi and terraces".
Towns on its shores include Rutinda, Kyevu and Muko while its 29 islands include Punishment Island, Bushara Island and Leprosy Island. It is a popular location for waterspots and is known for the surrounding terraced hillsides. It is popular with both foreign and domestic tourists and there is a wide variety of tourist accommodation.

KAZIRA PROJECTS

KAZIRA POULTRY KEEPING PROJECT


In April 2012, Kazira Orphans Project started to establish a chicken farming project that would provide food for the orphans, vocational training for the orphans and an income for the community.  This would allow Charles orphanage to embark on a business venture to bring a sustainable income to the community and in turn fully support the orphan home and the orphans that reside there.

This farming project includes a two-story chicken/egg production buildings that will house 2,000 chickens, a caretaker's home that will also serve as the farm office,  and a variety of vegetables to be harvested on a regular basis.  The produce, eggs, and chickens that are not needed to feed the orphans will be sold or bartered in the local markets for additional provisions.  This farming initiative is a win-win situation because it will allow the orphans to enjoy a more nutritious and varied diet as well as a badly needed income to support other expenses from the orphan home.  And $14,300 is needed to fully develop this farming plot.
The first phase of development for the farming plot is the construction of the security wall around the farm plot and the pit latrine.  Each of the 11,000 blocks will be made by hand and formed with the block making machine.   The second phase of the self-sustaining chicken project will be to build the two-story chicken coop, and  the final phase is to construct a caretaker's home that will also serve as the office for the chicken farm.
Are you interested to help the project and be part of it?

  Change a life, Sponsor a child

 
Truly I can say that $1 a day changes the life of a child.  
I see it everyday and can give you 2oo names.

All the children know their sponsors by name, pray for them, and LOVE receiving letters from their sponsors and writing back.  It is a joy for me to see the friendships that form between the children and their sponsors.  You will be a blessing and will be blessed in return.
