Second Infants' Residence

Nov 2011 - this is well underway, with the main building almost completed.

Potter's village in 2010: note the distinctive roofs.

At present the village comprises:

• babies’ home for up to 30 babies (with a second home almost complete)
• medical centre
• a laundry and cooking facilities
• accomodation for houseparents 
• playground
• day centre.

Architectural features are in keeping with Ugandan culture, using circular buildings and beautiful wrought iron features. Visiting volunteers have painted many walls beautifully.

 

The Medical Centre

The Medical Centre is now fully equipped thanks to generous donations. It has an Incubator and Oxygen concentrator which are crucial for the premature babies and those with respiratory difficulties. Qualified staff to run this unit are urgently needed.

The Centre has also been fitted with three solar panels ensuring a continuous supply of hot water and will be a big saving to electric bills. The panels are the envy of the district.

Benon continues to oversee the building work with dedication, skill, and to high standards.
