Exciting KSVI Well and Cistern Update
We are moving forward with this project and, God willing, hope to have the construction completed by this summer!!!!
Right now we are waiting to see if significant funding from a non-profit we have been working with comes through. Our plan is to have the well dug close proximity to the school buildings. It will be powered by an electric pump. We expect this well will provide water for our approximate 200 students and 18 staff members for cooking, cleaning, and drinking. It will have the capacity to serve up to 1000 students in the future.

Good Shepherd Kindergarten
After three years of offering secondary education, we realized that the educational foundation of the students was shaky. As an answer, in February 2010, we began Good Shepherd Kindergarten, which is administered by KSVI. Two mature teachers were hired. Because students in Uganda begin school at different ages, our kindergarten children range in age from 3 – 9 years. They begin with a typical pre-school curriculum, but learn to read, write, and work with simple numbers before they graduate. They also learn discipline and respect for their elders and contemporaries.

Adventina’s Story
Adventina and her family lived in a small mud home with a grass roof and dirt floor, in property adjacent to that of KSVI. A worn mat covered the dirt floor of her living area, where she lived with her five children and husband; a wooden bench in the living area and a simple bed was their only furniture. The family, returned refugees from Tanzania in 2002, survived as subsistence farmers. Their main crop was bananas. Adventina speaks no English; her language is Rukiga.
