	Mesmerizing Kapchorwa
		Kapchorwa is the district found at the Ugandan border with Kenya and the base of Mt. Elgon.
		After visiting Kapchorwa, you understand why the Sabiny (people from this highland district) always refer to their place as the upstairs of Uganda, insinuating that the rest of us live on the ground floor of Uganda.
		Though they are also high on the beauty scale in Uganda, Kapchorwa is also surrounded by cattle rustling tribes in the Karamojong and the Pokot from neighbouring Kenya who have made Kapchorwa their cattle-harvesting region, given the fact that the other tribes are more war-like than the Sabiny.

	USAID Telling Our Story: Uganda - Banks Open Doors to Farmers
		Although his 20 acres of rented land had good yields, he struggled to support his large family and keep the farm running from one harvest to the next.
		Through the program, farmers deliver their crop to a designated secure warehouse, where it is weighed and kept in storage until the farmer is ready to sell.
		Based on Kapchorwa’s success, similar programs are being developed in other parts of Uganda that will make it easier for farmers to get ahead, rather than just make ends meet.

	Clitoridectomy: A Nineteenth Century Answer to Masturbation
		These girls can only sustain their determination not to submit to FGM if they have alternatives to the traditions of village life (which require circumcision), so we are seeking to provide secondary school fees for the girls, as a beginning.
		Even if they are qualified by good exams, Kapchorwa girls generally do not get secondary education because their families are too poor or unsympathetic to provide the $1,500 per year needed for a boarding school.
		The Godparents Association will also begin building a secondary school in the district (the community has already agreed to donate the site and building materials), and later we plan to start a program of "vocational education," whereby women may learn the skills to be economically self-sufficient, thus providing them options to traditional women's life.
