"FRIENDS" TEAM 2010 RETURNS
 
Rev. Ezra and Marjorie Musobozi recently hosted the 2010 Friends of Ruwenzori visiting team at their beautiful guesthouse, the Kitojo Tourist Home.  Gil, Karen, Michael and Jennifer Gleason, Brian Kast and Jan Doninelli were treated to and participated in two of KIDA's musical productions, volunteered at the clinic, engaged in building and gardening activities, and helped produce a video documentary.  Read more about the trip by clicking on "Uganda Trip" at the left.

KIDA HOLDS SAVINGS AND CREDIT COOPERATIVE MEETING ON GRADED SITE FOR FUTURE HOSPITAL

Pictured here is the set-up for KIDA's microfinance annual meeting held on May 28th.  Since the membership has now grown to 491, several tents were rented to accommodate the expected crowd.  They were placed on one graded level, the future site of the outpatient clinic for KIDA's capital project which is to build a Health Center IV, a mini hospital that will provide much needed health services to the entire rural population surrounding KIDA. The general wards building (one of four buildings) is nearing completion, made possible by a recent grant of $77,118 from the Friends of Ruwenzori Foundation made in April.

KIDA's proposed Health Center IV is making excellent progress!  The picture below shows an early June, 2010 snapshot of the roof framing of the General Wards building (located behind the large tent shown above).  The building in progress has 3 large rooms for 4-6 inpatient beds each: a men's ward, a women's ward and a children's ward.  Other rooms provide space for waiting, treatment, nurse rooms and storage. The Friends of Ruwenzori commends KIDA for effective and efficient use of donated funds!

Year end message from Rev. Ezra PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 20 January 2010 00:54

Dear Friends,

On behalf of my family, KIDA staff and all the community here, I have the pleasure to thank all of you for the love and support you have extended to us.  You surely have saved hundreds of people's lives and have given them another chance to celebrate Christmas with a smile with their families through your tireless and sacrificial support. We do understand that it has not been easy to raise the financial support, given the global economic crunch. But in spite of that you have gone an extra mile to reach out to the needs of our community.  May God bless you; give you a merry Christmas and a prosperous 2010. I would wish that everyone who has supported us to receive this message. Please kindly forward this message to them.  Thanks with love, Ezra 

Rev. Ezra and Marjorie Musobozi, founders and directors of the Kitojo Integrated Development Association

In April, Rev. Ezra received Mark Sevier, an American Peace Corps volunteer assigned to KIDA for one year.  Mark is charged with educating KIDA's clients in better sanitation and safe water treatment, an important issue in the community.  Mark has been working hard ever since presenting lessons and visiting homes.  He has offered his expertise in microfinance, development and business management as well.  His parents recently visited him and promptly donated 98 mosquito nets.  After Mark demonstrated their use for prevention of malaria, they were immediately distributed to the guardians of children with HIV.
