Keeping the Medical Centre open

We had a fantastic response to our appeal, thanks to your amazing generosity, raising a total of £18,293. Thank you so much!

It means we can continue to provide increased support for as long as is necessary.

Update 2.10.20
Restrictions continue to be eased in Uganda, but Covid cases are increasing again, currently around 8,500, but only two cases in Kisoro, back in August.

Babies continue to be admitted to the Crisis Centre and children are again being resettled back into the Community. The numbers of patients able to access care in the Medical Centre are slowly increasing but lack of transport can still be a problem, especially at night.

Borders are beginning to re-open, and places of worship have now been allowed to operate with a restricted number of 70 people per session.

Please continue to remember Potter's Village in your prayers.

Update 8.8.20
Total cases have now risen to around 1,270 in Uganda, with 6 reported deaths.  In Potter’s Village the Crisis Centre is working well and community visits are on-going.  Patient numbers in the Medical Centre are continuing to increase.

Shops and other economic activities are operating normally, and public transport is running again but vehicles are only permitted to carry half capacity making it expensive for travellers. Boda bodas [motorbike taxis] have been able to carry passengers since the end of July. The borders are still closed.

Please remember the children and staff at Potters Village in your prayers, especially Idah, our Administrator, in charge of the site, Jovia, the nurse in charge of the Medical Centre, and the two clinical officers Davis and Rodgers. Dr Nicci is currently on home leave in South Africa, her plans to also spend time in the UK have been put on hold as all the borders are closed.

Thank you for your giving and your prayers
