Q-Drum

Help get fresh water to rural villages.

 

This clever water-toting device is literally changing lives overnight for the people of poor countries like Tanzania, where hours every day are spent finding and fetching water. School children especially must rise early in the morning to carry the water in large buckets on their heads before they can ever head off to school. More...

Dear Friends of LPA,                                                                     July 2011                                                                                               

 

We would like to bring you up to date on Life Project for Africa’s work during the past year, and share what is coming in the future.

 

2010 was an exciting, rewarding and challenging year at the NJIA Health Center.  It served almost 17,000 patients, a 70% increase over the 10,000 people treated in 2009. Of these 17,000 patients, almost 7,000 were infants, children and pregnant women seen at the CHARLES EVANS CLINIC. We are continuing our efforts toward making the Health Center a self-sustaining operation and have already gone from virtually zero local support in 2007 to 20% local support, mainly from user fees.

 

We continue to work on the Josephine Self-Help Orphans project in Uganda. The building to house Josephine and 14 orphans is progressing well, and in the meantime, we provide support for the orphans themselves.  Moreover, we are working to secure funds in order to partner with the Starkey Hearing Foundation to provide hearing aids and equipment to approximately 200 children and adults with a hearing disability.

 

As you can see, the needs remain great and we are most thankful to all those who have supported us, especially those who supported our very successful benefit dinner in April.

 

As many of you know, LPA Board Member and Co-Founder Stephen Mosha has resigned from his priestly duties, no doubt an extremely difficult personal decision for him. Over the last two months, the Board of Directors has spent a great deal of time addressing whether this change will impact LPA. We are pleased to say that we foresee no change in our operation, mission or philosophy. LPA is moving forward with confidence and enthusiasm. Stephen remains as committed as ever to the goals and mission of Life Project and has just recently returned to Tanzania to continue Life Project’s work.  In his own words: “In my life as a lay Christian, I will dedicate my time and attention to all the works supported by Life Project for Africa. Specifically, I will continue to focus all my efforts on the sick, the orphans and the poor of my country.”

 

In the coming year we will be focusing more attention toward securing grant monies and expanding our network of supporters. We are ever cognizant of the great number of people who depend on us for their basic needs.

 

Finally, click here to find a further status letter from Dr. George Mussalli. Dr. Mussalli and his family visited the NIJA Health Center in 2009.  His recognition of the tremendous needs in Tanzania and his vote of confidence in LPA inspire us to continue our efforts.

 

          Again, thank you for your support.

 

 

                                                                             Sincerely,
