Since I came back from Uganda at the start of September, everyone involved with The Zuri Project has been incredibly busy co-designing and planning our next projects. During our month in Uganda, Danielle and I were delighted to meet with many different community based organisations and a diverse array of local people during our time in Kihembe, which has provided us with the foundations to plan our next projects. Over the past 6 weeks, our team in Uganda have done wonderful work gathering additional information and conducting research, our board of trustees have met a number of times to discuss the particulars of each project to ensure they meet our charitable objectives, and our ambassadors in the UK have offered insightful advice and guidance, which has challenged us to think about our work in many different ways. This collaborative effort is something we are immensely proud of, and together, we have decided to support the following six projects, each of which is designed to improve community wellbeing in a different way:
Agricultural and nutritional community outreach programme
Educational incentive project
Primary school agricultural and nutritional project
OPADS female sensitisation Programme
The Zuri Allstars Sports Project
School cultural exchange programme
We will be posting regular updates from our new projects, so please follow our blog for more information. We are also planning a number of new projects that we hope will be implemented at the start of 2016, so please check back to hear about any new developments. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of our funders and supporters; we’re incredibly grateful for your continued support and without you, none of these projects would have been possible
As always, feel free to let us know what you think, or get in touch if you have any questions.
