In 2021 Evone Ministries International purchased land and in 2024 built the Evone Community Center as a gift for all the villagers of Nyakabugha, Bikone, Ruboni and Mihunga. Six months ago was the first wedding held at the Center. Today was the largest funeral celebrating the life of the oldest woman in Mihunga. She was 105 years old and 4,000 community members came to honor her.

Many villagers had never seen the Community Center. They were surprised and pleased with the beauty of both the building and the well kept grounds (thanks to the volunteers who recently slashed the grasses, planted flowers and cleaned out the compost bins not knowing there would soon be a funeral there).

I received a phone call this afternoon (10:30 pm Ugandan time) sharing the many reports of appreciation to Evone Ministries for such a wonderful gift to the community. as they have nothing else like it. With 4,000 attending, tents were even spread across the soccer field. When we (EMI) visited last May, 2/3 of the property was still all tall grasses and bushes. Myself, I am grateful to the village volunteers who have worked so hard (with no pay) to clear the property so events like this are even possible.

I asked, "how do you know there were 4,000 attending?" Junian's response was that the guests sign a register and their gift of money is recorded as they are entering into the property. Everyone contributes to the cost of tent and chair rentals, sound system and many also bring food towards a meal.

In the future there is hope for the Evone Community Center to own tents and a sound system to be able to rent to make a small income for maintenance of the land and building. Today all the rentals came from Kasese, close to one hour away.

Every time a baby enters the world---a Mother is born!!

Evone Ministries Mothers' Club celebrating Happy Mother's Day. For the majority of these are young moms of infants up to 4 year old---it is their first time being celebrated for being a mother.

Special government employees from Kyanya-Ibanda Council were invited as guests and presenters: Monica, Supervisor of Community Development (social services), Karen, Minister of Health , and Dorothy, a midwife at a large government hospital in the city of Kasese (50 minutes from the villages). Three of the teen moms, Joy, Patience and Medrine shared their stories of sexual abuse resulting in early teen pregnancy along with the support they have received through EMI's Prenatal and Postpartum Clinics to provide education and healthcare during pregnancy, sterile supplies for birthing and 6 months of postpartum care for infants to have a healthy start in life.

The day was celebrated by the 97 attending moms and 6 pregnant moms-to-be with a cake and a gift of laundry soap.

First term of the school year has ended. Now that EMI -CBO UG is in charge of the Student Sponsorship Program, a Career Guidance class led by Dr Mark was held with (11 of our 15) students from Rwenzori High School to aid them in understanding what their passion is for their future and better understand the proper choices in selecting school subjects. Educational programs and grading system is very different from here in the USA. Decisions on careers need to be established during S4, sophomore year.

New this year!! MOTHERS CLUB!!! Growing to meet the educational needs of young women ages 13-25 having their first baby in these four villages. In the USA, 27 is the average age for having your first child but in rural villages of the Rwenzori Mountains in Uganda, the age is much lower often due to sexual abuse, in**st, early teen marriages forced by the family in exchange for a dowry of farm animals. Having finished the fourth year of the Prenatal and Postpartum Clinics for at risk teens, our pregnancy rate is decreasing for that age group. It is important to now expand our age range in providing education, counseling, mentoring to decrease the fear of the unknown during pregnancy and to develop a sisterhood of support to include the older youth. The MOTHERS CLUB started in January 2026 and meets once a month at the Evone Community Center, led by team members Dr Mark, midwife Lavinya and Senior Nursing Officer Simon.
We are still in our early phase of development with a division of Group A- Pregnancy, Childbirth, Neonate, Group B- Mother and Child through first year and Group C- moms with toddlers. In January there were 30 moms present and in February 50. I have only received three photos so far with promises of more in the future.

Update on menstrual cups EMI distributed along with educational workshop while we were in the villages in May 2025.. Last Friday teens returned to report on their usage of menstrual cups gifted in both May and November of 2025.

Some of advantages reported by the students were:
1.⁠ ⁠It takes a longer time to change than pads, but you only change it 2x a day (outside of class time) compared to the 4x they change with pads, thus they can concentrate in class and stay at school without worrying that they need to go change their pad.
2.⁠ ⁠It is cheaper for us students. No need to buy pads anymore.
3.⁠ ⁠It can be washed. It does not bring bad smell and itching compared to pads.
4.⁠ ⁠Playing, running and walking is easier with cups, adding that she does not worry about it dropping down during activity time.

All of the teens present say they recommend them to other girls. One girl said after using for 3 months, she convinced her sisters to also use the menstrual cups.

Today is the first day of the new 2026 school year!! On Friday, Feb 6th, there was an organizational meeting of students and parents to prepare for the new school year and to give out school tuition receipts, a gift from their sponsors through Evone Ministries International. There was a one week delay this year due to the past four weeks of elections throughout Uganda starting with the Presidential election which blocked the internet for close to a week.
EMI is now fully in charge of their own student sponsorship program to improve transparency. We have streamlined the schools we support to Dusek Primary School, Rwenzori High School, RAD-CD School for the handicapped, African Ark College, Rwenzori School of Nursing and Midwifery. Our goal is for students to remain in the Kasese District to remain important members of their community and tribe, to allow more frequent visitation to their families and for long term to encourage students to give back to their villages in appreciation for the education their have received.
Jane Britain is the Student Sponsorship Coordinator here in NH, USA working with Dr Mark Kinene, Director of EMI Uganda is assisting the start of the year coordination with the schools.
Prayers for all students to have a successful school year!!
