Friends of Kitui have
made a number of visits to Kitui in 2007, in April, June and November,
and again in May and June 2008, to continue monitoring
ongoing projects designed to alleviate the side effects of drought and famine in the Kitui district.
In addition to the Project Programme, we are building a new
St Michael's secondary school in Kitui: with a budget of
approximately €500,000, this project demands intensive
fundraising and project management. |
We
are continuing our sponsorship of major projects for the Education
of AIDS orphans, for the Empowerment
of Women, for the construction of a
New School, and for the provision of Safe
Water to 24 communities. |
|
Our major focus for 2008/2009 will be in these areas:
-
A continuation of support for
activities at local parish and
community level.,
including extending the "Twinning" concept to other
parishes.
-
Further
expansion of Water Development
Projects. Each project will typically provide a safe water supply for 200-300 people,
and will help bridge times of severe drought.
-
Continuation of
support for Aidan Corless' initiative for the education
of Aids orphans.
-
The new Programme
for Empowering Women, to develop a Bee-keeping micro industry in
Kitui which will provide up to 200 families with a regular income into the
future, launched September '06.
-
St
Michael's School Building project led by Aidan Corless,
currently (June 2008) at mid-stage in construction, for which
we need your continuing support to raise the remainder of the
funds for completion.
