	THE BUSOGA TRUST, 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 had always loved the Ugandan people and so a memorial fund was set up in his name. The fund works through the Busoga Trust 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 how diseases (such as malaria, diarrhoea, typhoid and skin infections) are spread and how to make improvements to prevent them. Pit latrines are dug, stagnant water areas are removed and shrubs which contain a natural mosquito repellent are planted. The importance of washing one’s hands and adequate ventilation in houses are stressed. Flies do not respect boundaries between houses; if one household is not using a latrine, the neighbours will suffer, so everyone in the area is involved. Spectacular reductions in the incidence of diseases have resulted – typhoid in particular has been reduced by 91%.		Links http://www.busogatrust.co.uk http://www.redchillihideaway.com/stevewillis.htm
