Where? Barlonyo Aloi
Why? Joseph Kony - the War Lord Desperately poor • Towns burnt to the ground • Socio-economic & physical • infrastructure destroyed 300+ locals murdered – Children left alone – Citizen’s basic needs not met: • Water, sanitation, energy… – However: Good progress in • education with new schools. This will form the foundation for the WASH program. Mass grave
Today Borlonyo vocational and nursery school well (2010) Hmm… Aloi Secondary School cooking stove - wood is too valuable to be used for cooking Waste management
Latrine issues: Problems: Soil conditions & high water table make it difficult to have dry, in-ground toilets Pits collapsing Inadequate access to latrines Solution: Planned squat toilets with tap & bucket for cleaning, flushing drain hole, & washing hands.
Today Well functioning with difficulty and not enough of them. One well may serve 400 people.

THE GOOD NEWS • Despite some problems with the initial wire, the money is now flowing smoothly. • TRF has approved 2 installments (totalling $201,000). This along with $50,000 raised by our club has been sent to RC Kampala. • Work is ongoing as seen in the previous pictures and is progressing as expected • A site inspection as arranged by TRF will happen late May or early June • Martin has completed all progress reports required by TRF.
CHALLENGES • The Canadian dollar has dropped in value since this project was approved in October and as 77% of the funding RCOT received was in Canadian dollars and must be converted to US dollars prior to submitting to RC Kampala, we are facing a possible shortfall due to exchange of $6,500 US. • RI staff have limited experience with a Global Grant of this size. We are learning together!
