ST. JAMES KIBBUSE
VOCATIONAL TRAINING CENTER
NYAMARWA UGANDA

Training young people to take their place as craftsmen, technicians, or managers is vitally important to the mission of CEED and to the nation of Uganda. The Kibbuse Foundation, founded by Rev. James Joloba Adyeri, offers unique opportunities for rural youth to join the 21st Century.

If poverty is to be erased in Uganda, it will be because the nation has created industries that can make it an exporting rather than an importing nation, and because graduating students become job creators rather than job seekers. At the St. James Kibbuse Foundation, young people are trained in the kind of skills that Uganda desperately needs, such as:

•  Carpentry
•  Bricklaying
•  Metalwork
•  Auto mechanics
•  Sewing and tailoring
•  Catering
•  Management skills
•  English

The students at Kibbuse are all being given a second hance. They are orphans, school drop outs, single mothers, or children whose parents could not afford to educate them beyond primary school. The school is in a remote village. Fees are set very low so that the poorest of the poor have an opportunity to be trained. Students grow their own food, and tend their own livestock. Sometimes the school fees are paid in beans, or chickens. Any young person desiring a second chance, can find it at Kibbuse.

CEED and other organizations in the US and UK are involved in helping the school to grow. CEED Well Health Team plans to start teaching the students their unique well drilling methods, and giving them a chance of creating their own well drilling enterprises.

Missionary teachers have been sent from the US to help with upgrading the school’a curriculum and facilities. As of February 2007 the Missionaries in residence are Bob and Brenda Schuyler from Grand Rapids, Michigan who are acting as Teachers and Administrators.
