Alan & Dorothy Anderson

The Orphans and Vulnerable Children Project, Budaka, Uganda

This is a joint project between Glen Katherine PS and the Rotary Clubs of Eltham and Muyenga, Kampala in Uganda.

The project of the Indigo Foundation is managed by Eltham resident and Indigo Foundation volunteer, Ian Seal. Eltham Rotary has recently donated $2,400 enabling the construction of a spring water protection and filtration structure providing a community with access to fresh water. This replaces collection of spring water from swamps contaminated by animal droppings and mud.

In parallel, year 5 & 6 students at Glen Katherine Primary School have raised $165AU, enough funds to purchase 900 books, 200 pens and 200 pencils which will enable 100 Budaka students to start their schooling. Ian Seal is traveling to Uganda in May and will take with him the students' donation along with photos, short film and messages for children attending Katira Primary School in Budaka.

This community building project will develop a continuing relationship between the schools, Rotary clubs and the Budaka community – building communities, bridging continents.
