WHO TO HELP?

There are numerous areas within MCCDF where we can use your donations, if you would like to aid a certain project let us know and we will make sure it gets there. Here are some ideas to get you going:

 

COMPENSATION PROGRAM

Leopards with their small size can only tackle goats or young calves whereas hyenas, hunting in packs, often attack fully grown cows. Here’s an idea of what compensation we offer to give the farmer a helping hand:

Fully Grown Cow       250,000 - 350,000 UGX / 100 – 140 USD
Young Cow              60,000 - 100,000 UGX /  24 –  40 USD
Fully Grown Goat       80,000 - 120,000 UGX /  32 –  50 USD
Young Goat             20,000 -  50,000 UGX /   8 –  20 USD

 

SCHOOLS

A student on to secondary school per term      600,000 UGX / 240 USD
An orphan’s primary education per term          30,000 UGX /  12 USD
A teachers wages per term                      250,000 UGX / 100 USD

 


“BUY A BRICK” CAMPAIGN

In mid-December 2014 Christel was struck by the idea of offering to friends and family the option to buy a brick for St. Stevens School as a Christmas present. Within 4 weeks $6,000 USD had been generated and by March 2015 the finishing touches were being put on the first classroom. A brick isn’t only for Christmas but for birthdays, anniversaries, congratulations or just a gift to make someone smile both at home and at St. Stevens.
