Clean Water Provision
Thanks to generous donations from the Global Ministry Partners family, Mayuge Christian Education Centre has been able to positively impact the lives of thousands in Mayuge, Uganda through the provision of clean water sources!
MCEC is committed to lifting the surrounding community out of poverty through access to clean water.

• Provides water for the community surrounding the MCEC
• Uses a pump, powered by solar panels, to irrigate the crops on the farm
• Provides water to MCEC’s farm animals

Latrines
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 funds to build a new one.
MCEC then expanded their efforts outside of the property to start constructing or updating latrines at local schools.
Looking forward, MCEC in partnership with GMP, hopes to construct more latrines in busy community areas.

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).
