It’s the time of year again for those of us in the UK and Ireland to honour our mothers, on this coming Sunday 18 March, Mothers’ Day.
This year, how about thinking of a mother in Uganda as well as your own? A donation of £10 could go towards a smokeless oven – it makes the home more healthy and saves labour.

It costs only £30 to train somebody to build a smokeless oven - the materials are free! Donate now to our smokeless oven project or read more about them in our previous blog.
In Uganda young people are thinking about their mothers too. Esther Nalungoda is a student who uses UDS’ computer facilities for her studies, and for internet access. She is a long way from her mother, so plans to send her a message by text as soon as it turns midnight the night before.

Prossy and Sandra both do computer training with UDS. They say everyone should celebrate Mothers’ Day. Men should celebrate by thanking their mothers for giving birth to them. Prossy said it’s a day when she does everything for her mother, like cooking a special meal for her, buying her a present and thanking her for bringing her into the world. It’s also a time to express her appreciation to her mother for all the love, care, education and everything she’s done for her. For Sandra, it’s a day when she expresses her happiness at being a child to her parents, especially to her mother.So when you are thinking about your Mother, think about Ugandan mothers, and how you can make their lives healthier and easier with a smokeless oven.
