Upon seeing the suffering and deprivation in Northern Uganda,
we are compelled to help these people.
Two million people live in refugee camps.
They lack the basic necessities of life: food, water, shelter, compassion, hope.
Worst of all, each week, 1,000 of their babies die from lack of medical care.
This is wrong! No human beings should suffer and die like this.
We are helping the Acholi people in Northern Uganda.
What we do best is to build energy efficient, wood burning cooking stoves, called SixBricks Rocket Stoves, for people who cook on open fires. This stove saves half of the wood and creates a quarter of the smoke of the open fire. (So far, under our direction, 40,000 of these stoves have been built in Darfur and Uganda and other places).
Also, we find sick babies and take them to the hospital. If you are one year old and you have what we call MAD, malaria, anemia, diarrhea, you will die if you don't get immediate medical attention.
Soon, we plan to start a tree nursery, and a well drilling project, to bring clean water to people now drinking from contaminated sources.
We like volunteers to come and apply their unique talents and skills, or just help us with what we are doing.
