Though not much time has passed since our last update on the construction of our new community center in the Iganga District of Uganda, we have incredible progress to report!
Thanks to your support, S.O.U.L. has broken ground on the newest physical expansion of our organization. The center now has four walls, a roof, and windows to let the beautiful sunshine in. The idea for this project began two years ago with the vision of the Iganga community members. We started working with the community then, and have since constructed a 7-stance latrine at a local primary school, established two goat cooperative with 40 women, and accepted 36 students from the new district into our student sponsorship program. Once the Iganga Center is complete, we will be able to launch even more programs providing educational and economic opportunities serving over 150 community members daily.
Just this week we’ve turned our attention to plastering the walls of the new community center, carving out an area for a latrine and clearing the roads to create a safe path to the door. We hope to open by the end of February. Take a look at the photos below to see how far you’ve helped us come in the last few months!
