An Adopt-a-Village project being carried out by Rotarians in Uganda and California, USA, is helping to improve life significantly for people in Nkondo, Uganda.
The project involves four of Rotary’s areas of focus: water and sanitation, basic education and literacy, disease prevention and treatment, and economic and community development.
An important catalyst to the effort’s success is the vocational training team (VTT), a group of professionals that travels either to learn more about their vocation or to teach local professionals about a particular field.
“The main role has been to help kick-start the project,” says Past District Governor Philippe Lamoise, who led a team from District 5340 to District 9200 in Uganda in late 2010 and early 2011. “The training I conducted was about business strategies, savings, and investments as they apply to family-size farming businesses.”
