Either there was no place to sleep or prepare food for the patients.
Having been approached by hte community, assembly and hospital administration, Satemwa came to their rescue by agreeing to use the Fair trade funds to construct a guardian shelter.
The building has been constructed at the cost of +$65,000 and is at completion stage.
The Managing Director and the General Manager for Satemwa went to inspect the project to ensure quality before handing it over to the hospital. (Photo below).

Patient Guardians seen at the old Shelter. This is a typical example of life before Fair trade. Without Fair trade it might have been difficult to assist these people with a decent structure as the one above. Indeed Fair Trade does change peoples' lives and livelihoods. for more visit: www.satemwa.com |
