group visited the Bugwere Kingdom of Eastern Uganda, where we were warmly welcomed by His Highness King Geoffrey Wayabire, the royal household and members of the Budaka community.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The group stopped to asses sources of drinking water in nearby villages that relied on open ponds that were a hub of constant activity and persistent illness:<\/p><ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><li>Livestock waded through the same water that families used for drinking.<\/li><li>Women spent hours scrubbing laundry on the muddy banks.<\/li><li>Children played in and drank from the same pool.<\/li><li>Waterborne illnesses like cholera were commonplace<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After witnessing these conditions, Dr. Soaries pledged to raise funds to install 10 borehole wells for 10 communities. Unlike ponds, the wells tap into an underground aquifer hundreds of feet below the surface, protected from surface contaminants.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The Impact: A Ripple Effect<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On December 21, 2025, the first 2 wells pumped clear water in the two villages and marked the transition from a livestock-shared ponds to a dedicated well that represented more than just health; it represented dignity. The benefits of the well reached far beyond just quenching thirst:<\/p><ul><li><b>Health<\/b><strong>:<\/strong> Incidence of ailments are expected to drop dramatically within a few months.<\/li><\/ul><ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><li><strong>Education:<\/strong> Children, particularly girls, who were previously tasked with hauling water from the pond, will now able to attend school consistently.<\/li><li><strong>Economic Time-Savings:<\/strong> What used to be a two-hour daily chore of trekking to fetch water and boiling it is now a five-minute walk to a reliable pump.<\/li><li><strong>Hygiene:<\/strong> All household chores, including laundry, are also done with clean water, thereby reducing the instance of contamination from livestock activity.<\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help support this cause to provide clean drinking water to the villages of Bugwere.

In a society where the disabled remain underserved, this school provides a haven where children with speech and hearing impairments receive elementary education through middle school. Beyond here, however, very few are able to acquire further education or the requisite training to launch a career.\u00a0<\/p><p>dfree\u00ae and partners have committed to establish a training center at the school to equip the students with skills in catering, hairdressing\/barbering, dressmaking\/tailoring, leatherworks and kente weaving. This will ensure that the over 200 children currently in the school, and several generations yet to enroll will be guaranteed a lifelong career that will not only set them up for life, but impact their immediate and extended families, too.\u00a0<\/p><p>In the first phase of this project, the Montgomery family of New Jersey, with some support from members of the dfree\u00ae Ghana2022 tour groups, have generously donated the needed funds to renovate and upgrade a dilapidated building on the campus.<\/p><p>In phase two, we are fundraising to equip and staff the facility to meet accreditation standards for a vocational training school.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

Asiafro Amanfrom village for the first time to explore partnerships with Lauren Grimanis Foundation which had built a school for the community \u2013 Akaa Community School. The project comprised a 6-classroom block, a library, male and female toilet facility and borehole wells that provided water for the entire community.\u00a0 During the visit, it was evident that the children lacked a play area and a cafeteria. Herbert and Jacqueline Gettyes donated funds to build a playground with a swing, slide, monkey bars and merry-go-round for the school. This playground was commissioned by First Lady (Emerita) Donna Soaries.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7d0a1b0 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7d0a1b0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dd13ed2\" data-id=\"dd13ed2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0802355 elementor-skin-slideshow elementor-arrows-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-media-carousel\" data-id=\"0802355\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;space_between&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:8,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;skin&quot;:&quot;slideshow&quot;,&quot;effect&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;show_arrows&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;loop&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;space_between_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;space_between_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"media-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-main-swiper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Slides\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dfreefoundation.org\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/New-Roof-for-Shalom-Baptist-Church.jpeg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"0802355\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"New Roof for Shalom Baptist Church\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6Mzk1LCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvZGZyZWVmb3VuZGF0aW9uLm9yZ1wvYWZyaWNhXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIyXC8xMFwvTmV3LVJvb2YtZm9yLVNoYWxvbS1CYXB0aXN0LUNodXJjaC5qcGVnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiMDgwMjM1NSJ9\">\t\t<div class=\"elementor-carousel-image\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"New Roof for Shalom Baptist Church\" style=\"background-image: url(&#039;https:\/\/dfreefoundation.org\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/New-Roof-for-Shalom-Baptist-Church.jpeg&#039;)\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6307096\" data-id=\"6307096\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-89dda9c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"89dda9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">October 2017\n<br><br>Kyebi, Eastern Region, Ghana<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a948828 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a948828\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Shalom Baptist Church Roof<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53a414e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"53a414e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Soaries, on behalf of Dfree Global Foundation, Inc. and First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens, donated money to roof the new building of Shalom Baptist Church.
