The Villages
These are the stories of the people living in villages within Kenya and Uganda—their daily
lives, their work, their concerns, and their hopes.
Members of Give Us Wings have stayed in their villages and have met many people who live there.
We are speaking on their behalf.
We are honored to be collaborating with them in an effort to help them rise out
of the grip of poverty and become self-sufficient. As you read about these villages and
the current projects, think about how you would like to work together with us and with them.

Nyaoga, Kenya. Located on the shores of Lake Victoria, this village is made up
of clusters of small huts with no electricity or running water.
The people are desperately poor, but they are determined to succeed in their
business endeavors of farming and fishing. They need access to medical care and dream
of building a medical clinic in their village.
Tororo, Uganda. The needs of the people here
are extensive and urgent. The 30 members of Kayoro Farmers Group struggle to
take care of the community's 200 orphans. In the hills above Tororo, the members
of the Miabwombe Group are benefiting from their successful gardens, but need
more training in other areas. A group of men and women with disabilities are determined
to generate a carpentry business. In a crime–ridden slum, courageous women
have formed the Ngiyo Ber Women's Group–determined to give their children a
safer, healthier life.
