Rural Leadership Training

Reaching out to Rural Areas

AAI Director in Uganda, Sunday Sula Lasa, with a team of Leaders, has established a Training program for Village Pastors and Leaders in rural areas north of Kampala. In Africa the local church is often the hub of village life. There is where many go for assistance when in need, we therefore want to equip as many as possible with the skills they need to be better equipped to deal with many difficult situations that arise due to poverty and lack of infastructure. Places where AAI Training Programs have been well attended some leaders travelling many miles on foot to attend. All have been encouraged and helped by the input of Training DVD's sent by AAI and with materials such as printed notes for each Pastor/Leader and a new bible is presented with a diploma at the completion of the course.

Future plans for rural areas include provision of water through the digging of wells, tutoring in English and Maths and vocational training in various trades. Provision of medical help through establishment of medical clinics and/or sending of mobile clinics from Kampala to address the many medical needs of rural people. Volunteers from Australia with such skills will be needed to help with this program. If you have a skill that you can pass on, please write and tell us.
