June ’09 Funded by gifts from Australia

$1,700 (A$2,125) - Solar Power for house and Oil Seed Processing Plant

Solar power will cost $1,700 and will provide security lighting for the adjacent Oil Seed Processing Plant. Within 12 months this house will become the Amani guest house, available for use by paying guests. There is a great need for this facility in this region.
$1,600 (A$2,000) - The Guest House near the Main House

Guest House for ‘visitors’ and volunteers. There is not a lot to do to finish it out now: finish the bathroom (mostly Tiling) and then repaint the interior. Est. $600.00. (Tiles, grout, paint and brushes. Wages for the tiler.) When this is completed there will be a need for some basic furniture.: Table, 4 chairs, Kitchen Cabinet, 2 white plastic chairs, 2 small tables, 2 beds & mattresses. I could see how far $1,000.00 will go for this.
$3,700 (A$4,625) - Teacher's Office and Store
December ’08 - Funded with contributions from Australia.
(This building is what we call ‘improved GoGo’’ Using basically local buildings methods, together with cement, treated timber and iron we get a sound building at greatly reduced cost. Fr. John would prefer cement block which would require an additional $1,500 for materials.
$1,700 (A$2,125) Small trailer with a 5,000ltr water tank
October ’08 - $700 funded with individual contributions from Montana supporter.
November '08 - Remainder funded through various gifts.
The tank is in 'compartments' so that water is easily carried. It would be VERY useful to us here at the Center, for the building work at Makulu - and also to assist the local communities with their water needs. For example, if we had this when the Makulu Pump failed it would have been easy to get water to them. It will also be almost indispensible for the Tree planting program.
$2,920 (A$3,650) - 3 Bottom Disc Plough
November '08 - Fully funded by Montana contribution.
$13,000 (A$16,250) - Water Line from well to Makang’wa Village

This is an urgent need. The villagers have already dug the trench – in anticipation! We ‘may’ also need to erect an elevated water tank at the village center, beside the ground level smaller tank at the Clinic. The two tanks would add an additional $2,500 each to the cost. In terms of ‘project’ for Amani for Africa USA I see this as the primary matter.
$5,000 (A$6,250) – Heavy Duty Trailer for Tractor
September ’08 - Funded through gift from Australia
$1,660 (A$2,075) - 150 meters 2" Poly Pipe and equipment for water project
August '08 - Funded with World Water Day (WWD Video) related contributions.
The windmill at the Amani Center has been financed but this additional amount is needed for connecting two tanks 300 meters from the well to the present in-ground water distribution system. I need to get water to the two western grape areas – older vineyards – which we have restored and now look fine following installing new support lines and a properly conducted pruning. Presently it will be a very long task to water by hand – bucket by bucket. However we have water lined adjacent to these areas and it will not take very much to get water directly into each section.
$700 (A$875) - Purchase land along the river adjoining our land.
July '08 - A Montana individual made a donation of $700 for the purchase.
The water table is at about twenty feet and will be excellent for Bananas and Paipai (Pawpaw). It is part of our efforts towards a great degree of local self sufficiency. Income will be devoted to the support of the children at Igondola Children’s Project.
$1,000 (A$1,250) - Teachers Training College Scholarship
June '08 - Wings of Hope Lutheran ministry in Billings Heights sent $1,000.00

$12,000 (A$15,000) - The Makulu water project
May '08 - This was covered by a grant from the 'Kitchen Table Charities Trust' in England.
The workers have connected the first elevated 10,000ltr tank to the windmill. They said it filled quickly and is now overflowing through its outlet. They will have the second one completed soon. The people at Mvumi Makulu are very excied about this new source of water.
$29,786 (A$37,232) - For purchase of Tractor and Offset Disc Harrow
May '08 - Gifts from individuals of $10,000 from Brisbane, Australia and $18,000 from Montana.
