BSUF Programs

BSUF programs in Butansi Village and Butansi Sub County cover four main areas:

Present Programs

Childrens education:

We have a child sponsorship program that started in 2005. BSUF supports 65 children and students by providing school fees, uniforms, books and school meals. 14 of our students are in secondary school with the oldest in senior 5 and 51 are in primary school. The schools attended include Future victory primary, Veina primary school and St. Paul's senior secondary school among others.
BSUF donates educational materials like pens, pencils, drawing and colouring books, English and Maths study charts, footballs to Top care and Butansi Primary school in which it does not have a sponsorship program.

In March 2008 BSUF provided capital of 2 piglets to a group of 10 women who started piggery farming in the community. The initial 2 piglets have had piglets of their own which have been passed along and shared among the women. The pig/ pork business is a major source of income in the village and sub county.

Photos of the piggery project can be found here.
