Before Cents for Seeds, life was very tough. Now, I can finally rely on my harvests and can feed my children and send them to school. The program has given me the resources to thrive.

Cents for Seeds
Cents for Seeds is a micro-loan project in northern Uganda. Uganda is home to some of the most fertile land in the world. However, in the years following the war, the people did not have anything to farm with - enter, Cents for Seeds. Beginning in 2010 with just 100 women, Cents for Seeds has reached over 27,800 women, with 2,550 women graduated from 3 sub-counties.

The Kristina Health Centre was officially opened in August 2012. The clinic has been treating the local community with some patients travelling up to 50 kms in one day on foot to reach the Centre. The KHC provides maternity services, primary medical care including triage and appropriate treatment, disease testing, inoculation, medication dispensing and education. The most common illnesses are malaria, typhoid, cough and flu, pneumonia and other serious conditions including internal organ issues requiring referral to Lira Regional Hospital.

Well Worth It
Well Worth It is a water well drilling project that came out of our Impact Report in Cents for Seeds. The impact survey showed that the overall wellbeing of everyone in a household is directly linked to access to water. Now, with each new well drilled, communities in northern Uganda are provided access to clean water - something that they may not have had before.
