Year in ReviewJesse Kroeze, Country Director, TTW Uganda

2011 was a turning point in our ministry with visions being fulfilled and new dreams being made for the future. We were able to celebrate the success of providing clean water to the community as well as seeing the medical clinic be brought to near completion.

Perhaps the greatest achievement of this year came through solid relationships being formed and trust blossoming through one-on-one discipleship groups. After working exclusively in Adak for

over three years, TTW Uganda has been able to build a mutual friendship with the community at large and be a part of true spiritual t r a n s f o r m a t i o n . We e k l y community worship nights have provided an outlet for Biblical teaching and a place for spiritual fruit to be seen.

Our vision is to equip communities to be sustainable, interdependent, and spiritually transformed and we have had the joy of seeing our vision come to light this year.

Through the help of generous donors, we are well on our way to beginning a major agricultural initiative which will help bring our medical center and additional communi ty pro jec t s to fu l l sustainability.

W e t h a n k y o u f o r y o u r contributions to restoring lives by empowering our community in Uganda. With God all things are possible and we believe that more blessings are to come in the year ahead.

Touch The World Uganda is dedicated to equipping the people of Uganda to live in communities of sustainability, interdependency, and spiritual transformation.

TractorTOTAL NEED: $70,00075hp New Holland 4WDVISION FOCUS: SUSTAINABILITY AND INTERDEPENDENCY

A tractor equipped with the proper farming

tools will ensure a sustainable future for

TTW’s Dream Center. Farming is at the

core of our community and a tractor will

not only allow us to farm our own land in

order to generate income but it will also

benefit the community to increase farmable land.

This will move people past subsistence farming and

into a position of having disposable income, thus

increasing their dignity. A suitable tractor donated

from the US to be shipped to Uganda is also a

welcome possibility.

Irrigation SystemTOTAL NEED: $10,000VISION FOCUS: SUSTAINABILITY

As a key component to farming, a mobile irrigation

system will be installed. This system will ensure that

our 50-100 acres of crops will be well watered even

during times of drought. Chances of success

increase with greatly with irrigation bringing the

possibility of full sustainability that much closer!

First Year CropsTOTAL NEED: $10,000VISION FOCUS: SUSTAINABILITY

In order to jumpstart our agricultural enterprise so

that it lasts well into the future, we must be able to

cover the first years expenses. With the vision to

establish an income generating project to support

our non-profit, service based ministry (i.e. medical

center, discipleship) this is a vital contribution.

Crop Drying SystemTOTAL NEED: $2,000VISION FOCUS: SUSTAINABILITY

Once the crops are harvested, they need to be laid

out and sun dried to the proper moisture level. In

order to minimize combining the harvest with

foreign objects, a controlled method of drying must

be used. This crop drying system maximizes heat

through the sun and protects against rain, dust and

stones making it the ideal option for all our crops.

Our hope is to run the community

center off mainly solar power that

would consistently provide lighting

and power to minimal-demand

outlets. The medical center though

will have large equipment to run with

high power demands including an x-

ray machine. As it is impossible to

run these high demand machines (i.e.

x-ray) necessary for the health center

off solar, we need a generator that can

be turned on when needed. This

generator will serve as a back-up for

the whole center when the solar is not

generating enough power and is a

necessary component for operations to

run smoothly.

Solar SystemTOTAL NEED: $17,500

VISION FOCUS: SUSTAINABILITY We have recently installed solar panels

to power our solar water pump which

now provides the first clean water

source in Adak. A solid steel rack was

welded on the top of our filtration and

storage house that can facilitate up to

30 panels (of which we only have 12

installed).

Currently, there is no power source in

Adak and without power, operating a

medical center will be very difficult.

The installation of 18 more panels

will enable us to begin having a steady

supply of power since it is always

sunny and we are right on the equator.

SolarWorld 80W solar panels cost

$450 each and we are in need of 18

panels to complete our system. This

will give us 1,440 Watts of power that

we can store in batteries on a

consistent basis.

The total cost for solar panels is

$8,100 but a sponsorship of even 1 or

2 panels will get us closer to our goal

to provide power for the community

center (including health center,

vocational school, staff housing and

office). Additional needs to complete

this system are charge controllers,

batteries, inverters, and wiring. This is

the beginning of the larger vision to

establish a full solar farm to fully

operate all community activities.

Adak is fit with the optimal conditions in location and weather to benefit from the use of solar energy. Additional solar panels will bring a new level of development to the community.

2012 Solar Refrigerator

TOTAL NEED: $3,500

VISION FOCUS: SUSTAINABILITY

Certain medicines and immunizations must be kept

cool/cold in order to be effective. With our medical

center in the middle of the village, far from any

electricity, having a refrigerator that runs on its own

power through a dedicated solar system is necessary

for effective operation.

As a non-profit ministry to the

marginalized, any subsidy can help save

lives. Sponsor our medical staff

including nurses, a pharmacist, and a

doctor for a period of one year. This will

benefit the people in Adak as they receive

attention from a full staff as we work

toward operational sustainability through

our agricultural initiatives.

Medical Staff Salary - One YearTOTAL NEED: $15,000

VISION FOCUS: SUSTAINABILITY

Medicine Supply for One YearTOTAL NEED: $3,000

VISION FOCUS: SUSTAINABILITY

While there are a number of medical facilities in

Uganda, many lack medicine and must turn away

the sick and suffering. We believe that will never be

true for DCU and that God will provide all the

medicine needed to treat every potential disease and

sickness possible. Support our medical center with

the cost to keep us fully stocked for one year.

“The provision to access to a medical facility is the number one felt need by the community and we could not agree more. Too many people are needlessly dying.”

The core of all we believe in is spiritual

transformation. Every project, ministry and activity

is bathed in prayer and has the end result of guiding

people into a restored relationship with God. Bibles

and other discipleship material are so needed in the

village to walk beside people as they develop

spiritually.

Recreation is a lost art in Uganda that needs to be

reclaimed. While sports are therapeutic and also

encourage community, DCU believes that its another

avenue to draw people into learning about Jesus.

Help build a basketball and volleyball court in the

community of Adak as part of our holistic.

Vocational training was the basis for the beginning of

Dream Center; an opportunity to educate and equip

former child soldiers and children of war who had no

access to formal schooling but now have to find a way to

put food on the table and provide for their families.

The Dream Center Vocational School to date has

graduated 81 students (58 tailors & 23 masons). We are

just gearing up for our next class of students which will

learn baking. As we prepare for the new class, we are also

praying that money will be provided for us to build a

formal vocational school building within our community

center.

As of now, our classroom for skills training is in the shade

of a giant mango tree. However, in Uganda, an actual

building must be in place in order to be recognized by the

District Educational Officer to offer formal training with

official certification. This school structure would provide

a versatile design enabling separate classrooms that could

open up into one large meeting space to accommodate up

to 200 people. To train the many students, we will need

areas that can be used as classrooms and also areas where

they can do their practical applications.
