I am not familiar with the term "Sacco" can you explain what that is? From your description, it sounds comparable to a hospital foundation here in the United States. Are you basically saying that you and the board have discussed taking a microloan as "seed" funding to get the Sacco started? How would it then be maintained long-term? Through donations of the board members or fundraising efforts?

This is a great resource that Mary has posted many times in other villages with respect to schools and long-term sustainability. I would really recommend registering the school with this organization as well as taking a look through their resources page. Joining is free and can be done here:

FROM THE HOPE ALIVE UGANDA ACTION PLAN:
"The primary beneficiaries of the programme will be orphans and needy children in Kamuli district of both sexes from 8 - 23 year of age. We also target the teenagers especially girls who end up getting pregnancies at early ages and school drop out.
The target group will also include those children whose parents are alive but don’t have interest or potential to provide them with the necessary scholastic materials.

Paul,
I have contacted several organizations that donate sewing machines with bicycles. One of these based here in the USA explained to me that they ship bicycles with the sewing machines in part so that they can be sold and help develop an enterprise that can help promote long term sustainability. The challenge of course becomes shipping costs for the container.
