	2010 NEW PROJECT – THE BUSOGA TRUST PROVIDING CLEAN WATER IN UGANDA In November 2005 Steve Willis was shot and killed by the Lord’s Resistance Army whilst responding to a distress call in the Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda. Steve and his wife had been in Uganda for some years and ran two backpackers hostels. After Steve was killed a memorial fund was set up in his name http://www.redchillihideaway.com/stevewillis.htm This was felt by Steve's family to be a way to show how Steve had always loved the Ugandan people. The fund works through the Busoga Trust http://www.busogatrust.co.uk which is an NGO started by the Anglican Bishop of the diocese of Busoga in 1983 to improve the lives of people who have been affected by years of political turmoil and anarchy. The Trust installs hand-dug wells, boreholes and water catchments. Trained engineers oversee the construction but most of the work is done by the local community which generates a strong sense of ownership. The villagers also learn about general hygiene and spectacular reductions in the incidence of diseases have resulted – typhoid in particular has fallen by 91%. To install a clean, protected water source costs about £3,000. Caring and Sharing has already raised this amount and hopes to be able to pay for one water source per year in future thus helping about 500 people, the majority of whom are very poor, to raise the quality of their lives.
