The Water System

In need of constant improvements, $3000. will replace tubing that is now inadequate to provide water for 3000 persons!

Health Clinic and Education Center

Health Care

Health care from visiting Doctors and Vets, Teachers and Students! Your organization can help where it will really count!

The people of these agricultural villages are the poorest of the poor!  The Ali Shungu Foundation was established to assist and benefit these communities with programs improving the health, education and general welfare of the people and to eventually provide opportunities to earn a living without emigrating to the cities. 


Most members of the five communities, about 3000 persons, live with no indoor plumbing, no sewage, no access to water for agriculture, no health care and severely inadequate facilities in the schools.  There is little aid from the national government.  The average per household income is less than $800. per year.


The Ali Shungu Foundation will finance no administrative costs. All contributions will go for materials.  Labor is provided by the communities.

How to Help


Long Term Plans

The Ali Shungu Foundation

is asking for your help!

We are looking for someone who can volunteer to write a grant...can you help?

Small Business Enterprises

Support for community efforts in forming small local businesses as an alternative to seeking employment in the cities.

Used Clothing Drive

Clothing, especially for children, is very expensive and of mediocre quality.  Used clothing helps parents make ends meet!
