Community Hub
Creating a space for community to thrive through promoting unity between school children, our staff and village families.
Through an exceptional understanding of the importance of education and health care, director Amos Kambere has worked diligently to engage educational, political and family members around the importance of education, health and economic stability in support of our global children and their need to pursue lifetime goals and dreams.
Over the past years, the Umoja Overseas Project in Rwentutu has offered:
Physical land and space for the development of community integrated services of education and health care an elementary school for children from Kindergarten – Grade 7
Fresh well water at the school.
Dormitory for 50 children and teachers.
Ongoing educational professional development through volunteerism of teachers in Canada and the United States.
Practicum placements for student teachers and health care professionals.
Establishment of a medical centre for the children and village members.
Micro-financing for village women to better improve their lives and those of their children who attend the Rwentutu school.
Opportunities for partnerships that promote and foster awareness of global understanding of the importance of universal, quality education and health.
Through integrated community services, sustainability of programs and services can be obtained by increased awareness and engagement of all community members through the building of a school/village community hub.
The school/village community hub facility provides easy access for Rwentutu educational and health professionals to serve children and their families. As a place for broad-based programs and services, this village community hub can offer village families, facing multiple and complex needs, a unified one-stop destination to receive help, resources, professional advice, educational information and healthy living opportunities.
