28/10/2024 – This year, we were able to complete two construction projects on the farm.
There is now a building with a sleeping facility for students undergoing practical training and a building where courses are taught in a classroom.
They are designed to provide more work opportunities for young mothers of former patients of the Nutrition Unit. They can learn skills such as dressmaking or hairdressing, small-scale farming, financial literacy and life skills. This will enable them to get out of the vicious cycle of poverty and recurrence of malnutrition in their children.
Bivamuntuyo is a Community Based Organisation in Kabawanga, a small village in the Kyotera District in Southern Uganda.
The organisation was founded in 2013 by a group of local community members in collaboration with Kim Vogel.
Bivamuntuyo literally means “It comes from sweat”, in other words: “Hard work pays off”.
