"In Dead Aid, Dambisa Moyo describes the state of postwar development policy in Africa today and unflinchingly confronts one of the greatest myths of our time: that billions of dollars in aid sent from wealthy countries to developing African nations has helped to reduce poverty and increase growth. In fact, poverty levels continue to escalate and growth rates have steadily declined—and millions continue to suffer. Provocatively drawing a sharp contrast between African countries that have rejected the aid route and prospered and others that have become aid-dependent and seen poverty increase, Moyo illuminates the way in which over-reliance on aid has trapped developing nations in a vicious circle of aid dependency, corruption, market distortion, and further poverty, leaving them with nothing but the “need” for more aid." -- Review of DEAD AID, by Dambisa Moyo- HIH seeks to help Uganda become self-sustainable.
- HIH seeks to see people free from AID.
- HIH seeks to develop communities with a economic and educational base that can self-sustain schools and community works.
- HIH seeks to preserve the African culture and enhance the image of the African people.
- HIH seeks ALL people to know a loving God through service to His people.
This year HIH's developmental focus is on three projects and the collaboration and preparation for a long-term fourth project.
First, we are working on a study of Buganda Folklore during the month of February. This information will be published as a book to support the long-term project of a Maize Mill and to provide Library materials for the primary schools in Bugabo.
Second, we are learning how to streamline the back woods soap making process and will carry this trade to the women in Bugabo, as a viable means to support their families and to improve sanitary conditions.

Third, we are carrying educational support in the way of teacher training to 100 teachers in the Luweero and surrounding districts. These instructional workshops will focus on teaching methods and curriculum development that will prepare teachers to produce students who have the primary skills needed for secondary education, apprenticeship, or trade school.
Fourth, we are preparing for construction and implementation of a Maize Mill in 2012 through conversations with community leaders and stakeholders.

Thank you for sharing, I think people need to be aware of the difference and why you can't just hand out things and expect things to get better.
