Poverty, hunger, and disease often form a vicious cycle in the rural regions of Uganda.

Rotarians from the clubs of Muyenga, Uganda, Genk-Noord, and Belgium, are addressing these problems by using a multi-faceted approach to bring long-term economic stability to a rural region in Uganda.

In 2009, the Ugandan and Belgian clubs launched a project in Kasamu-Kyali parish in Uganda’s Mpigi District, to improve the lives of 4,000 villagers. The project provides treated mosquito nets, water boreholes and pumps, agricultural supplies and livestock, vocational training and equipment, and educational materials and uniforms.

The project is funded by a Health, Hunger and Humanity (3-H) Grant from The Rotary Foundation.
