Two of the Bukati-Project Goals are:
|
|
Since the Bukati project is becoming more self-sustaining, The principal of this school is Mr. Augustine Wasike, who was the vice-principal of the Bukati Primary school a few years ago, before moving to Bwaliro Primary School, and is in a town about 20 Km. from Butula, the town where Bukati Primary School is located. After 2 years of involvement at Bwaliro Primary School, many different permaculture projects are flourishing, and will likely be further developed throughout the rest of this summer. A greenhouse was constructed in May 2011 and the tomatoes that are harvested are sold in the community. These sales generate funds to contribute to an ongoing lunch program 3 times per week for orphans and vulnerable children at the school. Other permaculture initiatives include growing and selling tree seedlings, bananas and banana suckers, sweet potatoes, napier grass, cassava, local vegetables, rice and millet. |
