Oundle AfricaLink Community Aid Project 2010

Filed under: Blogroll — admin @ 10:00 pm

A group of thirty pupils has been recruited for the Oundle AfricaLink Community Aid Project July 2010 project in Mozambique. Depending on how much they are able to raise, the project has three goals:

  1. A bridge and walkway over a mangrove swamp that will allow easier access to the Mashungu clinic for a large section of the community. The local community in Mashungu had to travel more than 40 kms to the nearest clinic for the most basic level of medical treatment. The clinic, situated on a hill overlooking the Pomene estuary, is staffed, equipped and supplied with drugs by the Ministry of Health, and deals with minor injuries and illnesses, and provides regular Doctor’s clinics, mother and child clinics and AIDS awareness programmes.
  2. Equipment, materials and training for a women’s sewing collective. This will provide local women with a means of earning money by selling hand made items to the tourist market.
  3. A boat and equipment for a men’s fishing collective. As well as providing a source of income, this would encourage sustainable and environmentally friendly fishing practices.

All donations to the project will be gratefully received. We are proud to confirm that 100% of money donated will be spent on the project itself. The easiest way to donate is online through our JustGiving website:
