 Program:  Miryante Orphanage, Uganda updates by Jan Shannon

  • Miryante is a program for orphaned and at risk children
  • Uganda government decided orphanages should not exist, but should be foster care programs (without government funds)
  • Laura Corcoran, Marie Wilbanks’ sister, founded Miryante
  • $50 per month is sponsorship fee for a child
  • 2022 was the start of the project with Sunrise Rotary – pit latrine and well were built
  • 2023 – playground was funded with Circleville and other district clubs. Money was also used for a security fence around the ground and transportation (motorcycle) so social worker can visit the homes
  • June 12th – 21st, 2024 is next trip to Uganda. See Jan if interested.
  • Jan presented at the District’s Shark Tank and won $5,000 District money towards the projects. Along with our donation this year of $3,000,  Root Cause Uganda – built a brick community center
  • Water holding tank and solar panels were also needed and we helped get that done! Because of the solar panels – no longer cooking on a fire, but a stove
