METRES FOR MILLIONS — P»ge 3 YM-YWCA Uganda is a fertile land-locked country in Africa, dominant in world news reports until 1979 when the government was overthrown. Since then world attention has shifted, but Uganda’s problems of reconstruction are still very real. A tremendous amount of organizational and financial support is required until Uganda’s major sources of income from the export of coffee, cotton and copper are renewed. The development plan of the Uganda YMCA was based on financial self-sufficiency. One of the vocational training programs involved agriculturatj,training schemes for young people on two farms. One inAtasaka, the other in Buwambo, these farm programs nm only provided a training centre for young people, but the crops that were harvested became part of the food chain and provided income for the Uganda YMCA’s other development programs. The YMCA in Ugunda has survived the difficult times, but not without its toll. The local people’s ability to support these programs financially was reduced to zero as the economy ground to a halt. Buildings in the urban areas where vocational training programs were operating suffered bomb damage during the war, and were looted of equipment. In order for the Uganda YMCA to continue its development program the farms must be revitalized, the staff and young people given a new opportunity to assist in the country’s reconstruction. In Buwambo village a clean water supply system is in the planning stage. The crops, in the growing and collecting stage now, are sweet potatoes, maize and beans. Some form of transportation will be required to market the produce effectively. In Masaka, the farm scheme is further delayed because the land is occupied by the army. The YMCA must be ready to rework the land into a productive unit as soon as the army vacates the area. This will require equipment, seeds, and staff training. It is encouraging to note that the staff of the Uganda YMCA, all nationals, have the expertise to carry out this program.
