Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH)
Access to clean water remains one of the most urgent challenges in Mmanze. A solar-powered system exists, but it currently ends two kilometers short of the Mmanze Development Complex, leaving schools, churches, homes, and the health centre without reliable access.
To address this, we are working to:
Connect the system to the national power grid
Install a storage tank near the development complex
Extend two kilometers of transmission piping
Build distribution lines to key community locations
Reliable access to clean water would immediately improve public health, education, sanitation, and daily life for thousands.
Child Sponsorship Program
Many children in Mmanze face significant economic barriers to education. Our Child Sponsorship Program connects donors with students in need of school fees, uniforms, learning materials, and daily support.
Through this program, vulnerable children and orphans are able to remain in school and continue their education. Ongoing support allows us to expand this opportunity to more children each year.
Busaawa–Mmanze Health Centre
Established in 1994, the Busaawa–Mmanze Health Centre serves a population of nearly 100,000 people, many of whom would otherwise lack access to medical care. Due to high patient demand, the facility is in urgent need of renovation and expansion.
Strengthening this centre improves not only individual health outcomes but the stability of the entire community.
Below are some of the many services offered at our health center:
Education and Online Volunteering
MACERUDET collaborates with a range of schools, from kindergarten and primary through secondary (ordinary and advanced levels). We welcome volunteers to contribute their skills, knowledge, experience, ideas, and resources to support these institutions within our area of operation.
We also encourage online volunteers to participate from their homes or workplaces. These volunteers can help connect us with individuals interested in supporting our work, particularly through online fundraising for priority programs such as child sponsorship and Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH).

Computer Training
Now that we are in a digital era, MACERUDET is preparing to establish a computer training program at our Volunteer House. This program will serve students and community members from a range of educational backgrounds, ensuring broad access to essential digital skills. We have identified a dedicated facility where the training will take place.
To accommodate varying schedules, the program will offer sessions in the evenings, at night, on weekends, and during holidays for those unable to attend full-time. We also welcome donations of refurbished computers or laptops, which will be used as training tools to support participants’ learning.
How Your Support Makes a Difference
Without a stable income source, every contribution directly sustains MACERUDET’s most essential work.
Your support helps to:
Expand access to clean water across the community
Provide education and resources for vulnerable children
Improve and expand healthcare services
Strengthen local schools and training programs
Support long-term community development initiatives
Every contribution, regardless of size, creates both immediate impact and lasting change in Mmanze.
