Each year we receive many requests for help from the 51 village communities in and around the Bwengu area. Most of these requests relate to helping rebuild the education infrastructure of a number of village schools. There are 32 Junior and secondary schools. So far we have fixed 5.

Local churches of all denominations in the main are in a poor condition and add to many of the requests for help. Their Christian faith is the cornerstone of these village communities The provision of adequate medical centers that will meet the needs of the wider community is also a major concern of our work.

Women’s Development Projects are Sue’s main focus. The completion of the Women’s Development Centre (WDC) in 2008 forms the centre for this work. It has become the hub from which many community development projects are now undertaken. This 17 room centre includes teaching classrooms, workrooms, a shop, food stores, a library, restrooms and a meeting room. The provision of hand sewing machines has seen the start of making compulsory secondary school uniform by an ever widening increasing number of women. The WDC provides a base for the control and supervision of such facilities. It includes a nursery school for the under 5’s children.
