Heading to Uganda

From December 18th to December 31st, SAFE Founder Jacqueline Cutts and SAFE Technical Director Richard Cutts (also Jacquie's husband) will be in Uganda to implement the Light the Night project. The objectives for the trip include:

• Receiving the 20 WE CARE Solar Suitcases and 6 Humless solar units.
• Installing 2 Solar Suitcases in the Jinja National Referral Hospital, and training the project partners in the installation of the units at the same time.
• Training SAFE's in-country staff in the installation, use, and repair of the WE CARE Solar Suitcases, so that the remaining Solar Suitcases can be installed post Cutts'-departure.
• Installing 2 Humless Solar units at the Iganga District Hospital, 3 Humless Solar units at Ibulanku Health Center, and installing 1 Humless solar unit at Bukoteka Health Center. 
• Hosting 1 community health fair to provide immunizations to 600 women and children while simultaneously improving awareness of the solar unit installations and the eRanger program.
• Providing medical supplies to Bukoteka Health Center, who hasn't been given any by their funding agency for almost a year.
• Exploring ways to provide a source of income for the Bukoteka doctor and nurse, who haven't been paid for a year either (exploring gift of a dairy heifer, milk-producing goat, or organic farming equipment, the byproducts of which could provide them with food or money).
• Meeting with SAFE's partnered women's and men's groups.
• Checking in on all of SAFE's projects.
