Official starting signal:
After a phase of close cooperation with local government, during which building plans and budgets were prepared and approved, the project was officially launched on 26 June 2008.
Employees from World Vision UgandaThe average elevation of the Republic of Uganda is 1,000 metres above sea level in the Central African Highlands. more and local government representatives, and the official nomination of beneficiaries for training participated in the signing of the so-called "Memorandum of Understanding".
At the present time, all necessary building materials are being procured. After this, the building work can start immediately.
The beneficiaries:
The beneficiaries for the vocational training have all been identified. The most important criterion for selection is the youngster's need. They are orphans or come from households where the children were kidnapped, for example, and have not yet taken part in any support programme before.
The data will be verified once again before the project starts and contracts are signed between employees from World Vision UgandaThe average elevation of the Republic of Uganda is 1,000 metres above sea level in the Central African Highlands. more and local government. Due to the currently unstable political position and the resultant exoduses, the contract will not be signed until shortly before the start.
Start of vocational school training:
The support programme will now start with the regular school year at the start of September.
Besides the vocational school, most of the so-called Peace Clubs have been founded. These clubs are similar to workshop institutions and exist at some certain spots in the district of Pader. Activities are already taking place, but will be expanded upon in the current school year.
Building measures:
A very innovative process is to be used to produce bricks, one which uses pressure rather than burning, as has traditionally been the case.
The new process is much more durable and inhibits further clearing of already-scarce firewood.
