Year in Review
2011 was a turning point in our ministry with visions being fullled and new dreams being made for the future. We were able to celebrate the success of providing clean water to the community as well as seeing the medical clinic be brought to near completion. Perhaps the greatest achievement of this year came through solid relationships being formed and trust blossoming through one-onone discipleship groups. After working exclusively in Adak for

REPORT

over three years, TTW Uganda has been able to build a mutual friendship with the community at large and be a part of true spiritual transfor mation. We e k l y community worship nights have provided an outlet for Biblical teaching and a place for spiritual fruit to be seen. Our vision is to equip communities to be sustainable, interdependent, and spiritually transformed and we have had the joy of seeing our vision come to light this year.

Through the help of generous donors, we are well on our way to beginning a major agricultural initiative which will help bring our medical center and additional c o m mu n i t y p ro j e c t s t o f u l l sustainability. We t h a n k y o u f o r y o u r contributions to restoring lives by empowering our community in Uganda. With God all things are possible and we believe that more blessings are to come in the year ahead.

Tractor$70,000 TOTAL NEED:

VISION FOCUS: SUSTAINABILITY AND INTERDEPENDENCY

A tractor equipped with the proper farming tools will ensure a sustainable future for TTWs Dream Center. Farming is at the core of our community and a tractor will not only allow us to farm our own land in order to generate income but it will also benet the community to increase farmable land.

As a key component to farming, a mobile irrigation system will be installed. This system will ensure that our 50-100 acres of crops will be well watered even during times of drought. Chances of success increase with greatly with irrigation bringing the possibility of full sustainability that much closer!

VISION FOCUS: SUSTAINABILITY

Once the crops are harvested, they need to be laid out and sun dried to the proper moisture level. In order to minimize combining the harvest with foreign objects, a controlled method of drying must be used. This crop drying system maximizes heat through the sun and protects against rain, dust and stones making it the ideal option for all our crops.

TOTAL NEED: $22,000

VISION FOCUS: SUSTAINABILITY

Our hope is to run the community center off mainly solar power that would consistently provide lighting and power to minimal-demand outlets. The medical center though will have large equipment to run with high power demands including an xray machine. As it is impossible to run these high demand machines (i.e. x-ray) necessary for the health center off solar, we need a generator that can be turned on when needed. This generator will serve as a back-up for the whole center when the solar is not generating enough power and is a necessary component for operations to run smoothly. Model: Lister Petter Powered Generator, 30Kva, 24Kw, Three Phase, Open build now provides the rst clean water source in Adak. A solid steel rack was welded on the top of our ltration and storage house that can facilitate up to 30 panels (of which we only have 12 installed). Currently, there is no power source in Adak and without power, operating a medical center will be very difcult. The installation of 18 more panels will enable us to begin having a steady supply of power since it is always sunny and we are right on the equator. SolarWorld 80W solar panels cost $450 each and we are in need of 18 panels to complete our system. This will give us 1,440 Watts of power that we can store in batteries on a consistent basis. The total cost for solar panels is $8,100 but a sponsorship of even 1 or 2 panels will get us closer to our goal to provide power for the community center (including health center, vocational school, staff housing and ofce). Additional needs to complete this system are charge controllers, Adak is fit with the optimal conditions in location and weather to benefit from the use of solar energy. Additional solar panels will bring a new level of development to the community.

Solar Refrigerator
TOTAL NEED: $3,500
VISION FOCUS: SUSTAINABILITY

Certain medicines and immunizations must be kept cool/cold in order to be effective. With our medical center in the middle of the village, far from any electricity, having a refrigerator that runs on its own power through a dedicated solar system is necessary for effective operation.

Medical Staff Salary - One Year

TOTAL NEED: $15,000
VISION FOCUS: SUSTAINABILITY

As a non-prot ministry to the marginalized, any subsidy can help save lives. Sponsor our medical staff including nurses, a pharmacist, and a doctor for a period of one year. This will benet the people in Adak as they receive attention from a full staff as we work toward operational sustainability through our agricultural initiatives.

Medicine Supply for One Year

TOTAL NEED: $3,000
VISION FOCUS: SUSTAINABILITY

While there are a number of medical facilities in Uganda, many lack medicine and must turn away the sick and suffering. We believe that will never be true for DCU and that God will provide all the medicine needed to treat every potential disease and sickness possible. Support our medical center with the cost to keep us fully stocked for one year.

The provision to access to a medical facility is the number one felt need by the community and we could not agree more. Too many people are needlessly dying.
