Health & Hygiene at MCEC

Clean Water Provision

Thanks to your help, in 2023, Global Ministry Partners helped Mayuge Christian Education Center drill a well!

The well:
• Provides cleaner, safer drinking water
• Allows children at the MCEC to get water without crossing a busy road
• Supplies extra water for growing crops
• Provides water for the community surrounding the MCEC

MCEC is committed to lifting the surrounding community out of poverty through access to clean water. In 2024, Global Ministry Partners provided funds to drill another community well at Bubambwe Church.

Latrine Project

The MCEC property was designed for residential use. With more people coming for bible studies, education, and events, the original latrine was overworked and would soon fail. Global Ministry Partners provided them with the funds to build a new one.

Food Distribution

During the lockdown Pastor Sam was able to visit some of the girls from MCEC. During his visit he discover that several of the girls and their families were struggling to get enough food. A donation was made to Global Ministry Partners to buy food for these girls and their families. This, along with donations from the MCEC board members and Pastor Sam were used to supply 47 girls and their families with enough rice, beans and posho to give them several meals. Praise God for the generosity of all the people who donated!!

Hygiene

Sanitary pads are provided for each girl monthly. This has improved hygiene and lowered risk of infections.

Girls have more freedom to leave their home with confidence and dignity. Mary shares her gratitude.

WASH Program

MCEC has partnered with three local primary schools (Waitambogwe, Bugodi, and Faith of Victory) to pilot the WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) program. Teachers have noticed positive behavior changes in children at the schools after covering several topics (hand washing, warm infection, and excrement disposal).
