Story

THIS IS OUR PROPOSED RESTAURANT

MANY MANY THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE DONATED SO FAR. If you would like an occasional update please send your email to ann@ugandalodge.com

In the past 15 years I have worked with our Ugandan Director DENIS AHEIRWE and many volunteers and donors to give CLEAN WATER, a GOOD EDUCATION and FREE HEALTHCARE to many hundreds of rural village Children.

The children in Ruhanga have so little money, that these projects alone will never become self-funding but I have a dream of how this could be achieved.

We are building a stand-alone TEACHING KITCHEN/RESTAURANT and as we are situated on the Trans-African Highway, once open, it WILL SOON make a profit and help subsidise the school etc.

Alongside running the Restaurant we will offer catering courses to many youngsters who cannot afford Senior School.

MY DREAM is to raise enough money to COMPLETE this BUILDING in 2023 - the year following my 80 th Birthday.

Please, Please, will YOU DONATE or better still create a TEAM and do a sponsored Run, Walk, Swim, Climb, Cycle, Para or Bungee Jump yourself to raise money and help me raise the necessary £8,000.

I really hope I can remain fit enough to journey out to Uganda to oversee the building and get this Restaurant OPEN. I plan to be out there March-April 20-23 if you would like to consider joining me.
