Child sponsorship and ways to support orphans - a discussion
Status: 
Step:
2
Hope Alive Uganda would like to run a sponsorship programme.
See http://hopealiveuganda.synthasite.com for this.
In this task we would like to start a discussion about experiences with child sponsorship programs, options for sponsoring children, tips and advice, experiences, pros and cons.
Despite the fact that many similar tasks and discussions about child sponsorship can be found on the nabuur site, we would like to explore options, problems and possibilities for promoting this sponsorship program in Kisozi. Tips and tricks are welcome.
Enclosed is the budget for Hope Alive Uganda 2009 which indicates the prices for tuition fees, boarding facilities and so on (see for example page 10).

Make a Bed
Organic, no-till in permanent beds doubles or triples yields, reduces labor by 50% or more, reduces inputs to nearly 0 [need seed for new crops and green manure/cover crops], stops soil erosion, eliminates most disease and insect problems and greatly increases profits. Use bucket drip irrigation to produce during the dry season.
1. Mark off the bed. I suggest 2 m wide and 5 m long. Can be any length.
2. Cut down any weeds/vegetation. Leave on the ground. Do not dig or till.
3. If you are going to plant a crop, plant it and then, if possible, find some organic matter to place around the plants.
4. Even better, is to plant a green manure/cover crop with the food crop.
5. If you are not going to plant a food crop, plant a green manure/cover crop. Use one that is used in your area. One of the best is mucuna, velvet bean, beans, grasses and many others, even let weeds grow. Never leave the soil bare.
6. When it is as tall as it will grow, cut it down and leave on top of the soil.
7. When planting season comes, open up a place in the mulch for the seed, row or spot, and plant.
8. If other organic matter becomes available, add to the top of the soil.
After doing the above, I will mail farming DVDs to you if you want them.
