A One-of-a-Kind Maternity Centre (pic above)
A Tailoring/Design Centre
2 Fish farms
36 Boreholes (for clean water)
& are currently building a Secondary School (in Namatala) ("Riverside")
Along with training 250+ Community Health Promoters
This IT Centre is the most recent extension of the charity into Economic Empowerment projects.
The Story of Ruth: A Community Health Promoter (CHP), trained by Spotlight on Africa. Helping change the lives of whole communities by sharing knowledge and helping support families in rural communities.
Maternity Centre: Delivering 60+ births a month in a state-of-the-art purpose built Maternity Centre. (In Masanda, next to Bukasakya HC III)
It can support up to 2,500 births annually
Girl Dormitory for MCS: Musoto Christian School, which the IT Centre shares the land with, is a primary school for the most underpriviledged children and communities. Last year a Girls' dormitory was built to help them focus on education, or for some, just a safe place to live.
Neglected Man, turned Successful Carpenter: Walter (a partner of Spotlight on Africa), has lifted a man neglected by the community. He is death and mute, yet has shown strength in learning carpenting for a career.
Turning unused land into an Oasis: Sam Ejibu (SoA's master of Botany and Agriculture) has shown the community of Aloet how to turn unused, worthless land into a paradise of Mango trees and bee farming. Both of which provide a local income for rural communities.
Dark to Light: A heartbreaking story of domestic abuse told by Sylvia. Changed around by the support of Spotlight to train as a CHP & to earn an income through Sam's help in planting lemon trees!
Nekessa's Story: Trained by Spotlight on Africa as a seamstress, Nekessa has found a new life with a career and a more stable income.
