7 GHEI Latrine Project Diarrheal diseases and typhoid pose serious health threats in this rural district of Ghana. The local Junior Secondary School (the equivalent of American High School) has 260 pupils (140 boys, 120 girls), ranging in age from 12 to 18. There are also 10 teachers. Currently there are no toilet facilities at the school, meaning that students urinate and defecate in the bush which surrounds the school. The area is therefore a serious health risk, and the odor of the area surrounding the school is sometimes unbearable. Younger children wander round the bush during the day, often putting themselves at risk of transmission of fecal-borne diseases. In Humjibre it is common for families to lack personal latrine facilities, relying on community latrines, if present. If not, defecation is often done in the bush, with children defecating into plastic bags which are then thrown into the bush or onto communal rubbish tips. However, there is only one community latrine, approximately 15 minutes walk from the Junior Secondary School. This latrine seats 7 people, clearly inadequate for a village of approximately 4500. Humjibre is a village where the majority of the population lives below the poverty line, so the cost of building a safe latrine is beyond most families. This is why it is vital for students to have access to at least one serviceable latrine at their school. This is a picture of the Humjibre Junior High School where the latrine will be built.

25 Pig Loan Project (Part 1 of 2) The immediate goal of this project is to buy 30 pigs for the 6 poorest families in Omilling sub village - Sudan. This pig loan project will increase school enrollment rate in Omilling sub - Village. Most women are unable to afford study materials for their children so they force them to drop out of school. If the family has a certain income annually they would be able to send their children to school. Children who get education will help the development of the whole village. Each pig costs $35 and every family that receives a pig will be able to earn an additional $250 (£500 Sudanese pounds per year by selling piglets). One mature female pig can give birth to at least 5-8 piglets per year. Therefore this added income will alleviate many problems simultaneously. For example, sales of cheap labor in the construction sites, teenagers work force and early marriage for girls. Meanwhile it can ease family basic needs such as tea leaf, salt, sugar, soap bar, and pay for study materials for their children which will have a major contribution to poverty alleviation. Two pigs from the first litter will be given to additional families making this project grow over time. Completed!	Amount to fund: $1,050 100% Complete ($1,050) Admin costs: $35 100% Complete

44 Piggery Demonstration Project The teachers association to cater for children (TTATCC) was formed in 2006 and fully registered in 2007 as a community based organization in Buwenge town council Jinja district-UGANDA. The low – income levels in Buwenge Town council have a number of negative consequences in the homes of the registered children. Such as: inadequate basic needs, early marriages, theft, school drop outs, malnutrition, divorce and inaccessibility to medical care. This project will fund the purchase of 10 pigs at a cost of just $71 per pig. Cost includes initial food and medicine expenses associated with starting a pig raising operation. Once funded, the sale of 20% of the offspring will support the continuing food and medicine needs. The other 80% of the offspring will be given to the needy orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) once the OVC are trained in the care of the pigs. TTATCC and the local community will bear the labor and expense of constructing the housing for the pigs. Completed!	Amount to fund: $710 100% Complete ($710) Admin costs: $25 100% Complete

46 Lifewater Community Church Water Well The objective of this project is to raise the living standards of rural poor by delivering sustainable health and hygiene benefits through improvements in water supply within schools. ChooseAneed will be partnering with Lifewater Community Church with this project by purchasing the pump for the well. The pump will cost $500 USD. Kano plains of Kisumu district in the republic of Kenya is one of the poorest regions within the republic of Kenya with a per capita income of US$ 220. As much as 40-60 per cent of the populations are below the poverty level. Because of flat topography of the area it does suffer from perennial floods once it rains on the nearby Nandi hills. The effluents from the sugar factory along the Nandi hills are carried down streams once it floods. This result in incidence of cholera outbreak and water-related diseases, which do contribute significantly to low productivity in the area. Rural productivity is also constrained by the high time cost of collecting water, often more than 4-5 hours per household per day. Completed!

47 GHEI Mosquito Net - Malaria Prevention This project has the potential to save lives. Malaria is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children in Ghana. Despite the enormous impact of malaria, prevention efforts in Bibiani District are rudimentary at best. Private individuals do not have the means or the education to protect themselves from malaria. This is compounded by the fact that the government cannot provide the nets or the needed education to the most vulnerable. The provision of insecticide treated bednets with accompanying education is a powerful and proven tool in the fight against malaria. This is a simple intervention that has the potential to drastically reduce the number of children that die from malaria each year in Bibiani District. Completed!

94 Orphaned Children Family Supply Project Project Partners: Alpha Childcare Uganda (local NGO – Non Governmental Organization) In Uganda and many African countries malaria, and more commonly AIDS, creates orphans. Often these orphans are very young and yet they become the heads of their households. Can you imagine being responsible for a toddler and school age child when you are in the sixth or seventh grade, not even a teenager yet yourself? These orphans are very resourceful and they make do because they have to. ACCOD is a local NGO making an effort to help these children and one way in which they do so is by supplying some basic needs such as blankets, water jugs, and cooking pots. These are cheap by our standards, but are much too expensive for these orphans to consider purchasing. This project, each time we fund it, would supply 10 families with these basic supplies. It would be administered by ACCOD in Uganda. Completed!	Amount to fund: $500 100% Complete ($500) Admin costs: $35 100% Complete
95 Blackboards and Desks for Education The schools are making do with very poor blackboards that they use every day, as paper is not readily available and is much more precious than it is here in the states. These blackboards need to be replaced and it is a need the Uganda Village Project has identified during their groundwork with the schools. However, they have not had the time, energy, or money to invest in this project. They have also identified a shortage of desks in many of these village schools. Imagine having to share one of those small desks we all used in elementary school with several other children, taking turns to work on the desk instead of the floor. Update - The UVP summer team has performed a needs assessment and surveyed about 29 schools, interviewed them and researched costs. It looks as though 15-20 three seater desks will be built for one school from the funds donated so far. UVP is currently exploring exact costs and we are working with them to consider placing this need on CAN again in hopes of funding some more desks. Completed!

96 Malaika Microfinance Project Tanzania A microfinance project in rural Tanzania that provides access to small loans for people living in remote areas of western Tanzania. Rural areas are often left without access to many services. Most microfinance programs throughout Africa are centered in urban centers. This project also enables women to pursue their own personal goals and dreams by enabling them to establish their own businesses and better take care of their families. Below is a video provided to us by Malaika of women who have been helped by ChooseAneed's completion of this need. These women have borrowed small amounts of money from the funds we sent and are now operating business and slowly paying the money back which will then be used to create more loans. Completed!
