6 Pig Loan Project (Part 2 of 2)
The immediate goal of this project is to buy 30 pigs for the 6 poorest families in Omilling sub village - Sudan. This pig loan project will increase school enrollment rate in Omilling sub - Village. Most women are unable to afford study materials for their children so they force them to drop out of school. If the family has a certain income annually they would be able to send their children to school. Children who get education will help the development of the whole village.
Each pig costs $35 and every family that receives a pig will be able to earn an additional $250 (£500 Sudanese pounds per year by selling piglets). One mature female pig can give birth to at least 5-8 piglets per year. Therefore this added income will alleviate many problems simultaneously. For example, sales of cheap labor in the construction sites, teenagers work force and early marriage for girls. Meanwhile it can ease family basic needs such as tea leaf, salt, sugar, soap bar, and pay for study materials for their children which will have a major contribution to poverty alleviation.
Two pigs from the first litter will be given to additional families making this project grow over time. |

11 UVP - HIV and Syphilis Testing (Part 7 of 10)
Since 2009 UVP has been providing the people in our Healthy Villages with outreaches for HIV voluntary counselling and testing. In 2010 they also added syphilis testing to this outreach. UVP found that the numbers of people suffering from syphilis were shockingly high. Because syphilis is a disease that is easily treatable with cheap medications, and it can also be devastating and lethal, particularly during pregnancy, UVP expanded their program to include syphilis treatment as well.
The terrible impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Uganda has now been widely recognized. The Ugandan Ministry of Health currently (2010) estimates that 6.4% of Ugandans are HIV-positive. In Uganda’s “East Central” region, where Iganga District lies, HIV prevalence is even higher than the national average – 8% of women are HIV positive, and 5% of men.
Due to reports from health centres and concerns raised by the Healthy Villages communities regarding a high prevalence of syphilis, UVP began to include the option of syphilis testing in June 2010.
Total Number Tested: 250 (70 Male, 180 Female) Positive Total Number: 135 (45 Male, 90 Female)
05 – 18 yr old Total Number Tested: 30 (10 Male, 20 Female)
05 - 18 yr old Positive Total Number: 13 (3 Male, 10 Female)
This need will provide funds to continue testing one additional village in the Iganga District. There are 10 total villages that need this testing. |
