Moyo Baptist Youth Association Oxen Project
Funding has been agreed for a project working with youth affected by the on-going conflict in the north of Uganda, teaching specifics regarding farming the land using Oxen and ploughs. This is an important lesson for many young people, as for many, their entire lives have consisted of life in camps, where food has come through Aid organisations, and as such, have never learned the basics of farming - something that will be a requirement of survival as people move from the camps back to their villages. Update: Two oxen have been purchased for the project, along with a plough and components for it, and training has begun. Cultivation of the land is, however, yet to begin, due to delayed rains this season.
