Israel Siriri Receives an
Excellent Water Report from the New Well
The water from the borehole was tested by the Ugandan water authority for quality and reliability. We are delighted to announce that the water has received an excellent report!
Israel Siriri, the community engineer, has started laying the pipes to transport the water from the well to Nabagoye Hill, the site of the health clinic. He has also applied for a city electric line to run to the well site to power the electric pump. The local government will issue the permit within the next few weeks.
I provide water in the desert and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen. Deut. 32:1-2

Medical Care
While the Medical Clinic is being built, an already existing room is being renovated to serve as a first aid room to provide emergency care and preventative education for HIV and Malaria. The plastering of the first aid room is now complete and a new ceiling and front door have been installed. The construction team is putting on the finishing touches by installing the dispensing window and new doorframes including mosquito screens. Additionally, the screens are being ordered for each of the homes to protect against mosquitoes. Dr. Samson Wamani is purchasing medical supplies and has approached the Mbale district director of health services to donate vaccines. The Abayudaya Health Committee is interviewing potential applicants to fill the positions of day and evening staff nurses.
