Early detection of pregnancy among adolescents in Mubende district Secondary Schools

After a series of series of requests from parents and  the local leaders and our own surveys, Center for Community Transformation has  decided to carry out a project targeting  school going adolescents ( aged 13 year -  18years) with the  aim at preventing early pregnancies, pregnancy and child birth related diseases/death and  reduce on the girl child school drop out  rate in the district. This will be done three times a year. In the 1st term, the second term and third term  at least within the first 14 days of their reporting back to school.

Of course this intervention will handle even counseling and testing of HIV /AIDS and other STI's for the same target group.

i believe this is going to help and cause great impact on our community majority of which is within the age bracket of 13 - 18years

I call on every one who reads this post o support us cause an impact. you can support by choosing to come and volunteer as a individual or a group and participate directly especially if you a medical worker and trainee at University /college.drop us an email and we shall make the necessary arrangements for you.

Family Planning training for rural Women

The last 2 weeks of May 2015 and 1st week week of June 2015 Center for community transformation mobilized, conducted awareness and training for women about family planning services.The decision to take women is majorly because  they suffer a lot during pregnancy yet the mantle of caring for the family members largely rests on their shoulders, secondly the other objective was to educate them about the burden of having many children in a home and the advantages of having spaced births and few numbers of children in  the home

Women already arrived at Lwemikomago for the family planing awareness

Fundraising for Construction of a Community Health Clinic in Rural Uganda.

Fundraising for the Construction of a Community Health Clinic with Equipments in Rural Uganda.

CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT:

• Every day a child who would be a very important person in the community if saved dies in the hands of Traditional Birth Attendants, old women and in homes trying to deliver alone!
• Women in Mubende face the highest risks of maternal mortality!
• Every minute, a Women dies of causes related to pregnancy or child birth!
•  When a mother dies, her surviving children are ten times more likely to die within two years!

I'm raising funds to establish a Community Health Clinic and provide much needed clinic equipment at Kibyayi Village Mubende District in Uganda. I need US$38,500 for this community health facility.

All of the funds I raise are going directly to Center for Community Transformation an  organization  that is working  in this area. $14,500 will go towards constructing the community health clinic facility   and the rest will go towards buying medical equipments that will be used in the clinic on patients; but particularly to address health concerns  faced by pregnant mothers and children. By donating and helping to raise this money  (and/or sharing this campaign with others) you're making a direct impact to reduce mortality rates which is the highest cause of of adult female death in Mubende and mityana in Uganda.


 Thank you so much for considering my cause!

Below are the images of the site where the community health clinic will be constructed. Inset is Godfrey clearing the much grown bush on the site.

Tomato Nursery Bed germinated - see pictorial

In our lat post The Male group sets up a Tomato Nursery bed to gro... 
 we are really sorry for the delay to post what happened after the four days, But we we were able to monitor and see what actually took place. The Tomato nursery bed did germinate and the male group were really excited about this. As agreed the group had agreed that they would volunteer extensively to prepare the gardens to which the tomato seedlings will be transplanted for further management. Now that the nursery bed had germinated. members resolved to after two weeks (that is by around 9th May 2015) the tomato seedlings will be ready with he garden.

Cecot Center hopes that each member will plant 1,000 seedlings and all members of the house hold will support this home project. Overall its expected that about 12,000 tomato seedlings will be planted by the male group.

Below is are some of the pictures showing the new trend of the Tomato nursery bed:

The nursery being covered with dry grass to prevent the seedlings fro direct sunlight and to enable them grow well

The main intention is to ensure that the income in the house holds are boost .
Cecot center believes that when this is well done it will entice other to also follow the same direction.

We are going to bring you our progress step by step.

Mubende District LCV Chairperson Requested Cecot Center to construct a Community Health Center

On 25th April, 2015 Center for Community Transformation  marked the World Malaria Day at Kibyayi Village in Mubende District. The activities to mark the day included community sensitization about the causes of malaria, ways to prevent malaria and the best way to treat malaria. As such community members were tested for malaria and those found to have the disease were given the necessary treatment. In his speech the LCV chairperson asked Cecot Center to establish a Community Health Center to save the community, because once constructed it will not only treat malaria but also a ranges of health services will be provided. He requested Director Center for Community Transformation Mr. Emmanuel  to take the issue very seriously because it would reduce on the influx at the Referral Hospital which is caused by self referrals which people do.

On the same day in partnership with Kasaana child Development Center and Uganda Health Marketing Group HIV/AIDS counseling and Testing and free family Planning services were offere respecively by our partner organizations
