Uganda Rural Development Training
This project works with poor farmers in the Kibaale district in western Uganda with a focus on promoting self-generating development. By educating both the student and her parents in so called back home projects, 65 per cent of the families have managed to change their lives to the better. They have created actions for change such as proper sanitation, access to good diet. Many of them have gone from selfsupporting farmers to selling their crops and live in brick houses instead of clay huts.
