烏干達農村服務體驗計畫理念
烏干達位於東非,又稱東非的珍珠 Mukono 區,位在非洲最大的內陸湖-維多利亞湖旁,豐富的生態資源依著湖水應運而生,欣欣向榮。然而豐富的天然資源並未改善當地人的生活。過時的農耕技術,以及極為不便交通設施讓聯外道路難以進入這偏遠的漁村,村內的農、漁民,依然在低技術高勞力但低薪、貧困的生活中掙扎。而政府貪腐、教育制度不完善、醫療資源昂貴,則是存在已久的深層問題,加劇了貧富差距。
Uganda is located in East Africa and is also known as the Pearl of Africa. Mukono District, which is adjacent to largest lake in Africa—Lake Victoria, has a vibrant ecosystem. However, the abundance in natural resources did not improve the lives of the local inhabitants. Outdated agricultural techniques along with its isolated location cause the farmers and fishermen of the village to struggle in a life of toilsome labor, low wages, and poverty. Furthermore, persistent problems such as government corruption, poor quality education, and expensive healthcare further exacerbate the wealth inequality.
如今,也就是你,將成為東非農村的一環,參與烏干農村服務體驗計畫,和當地辛苦生活的人們一起改善生活,一起發揮影響力。烏干農村服務體驗計畫從村落需求出發,雖然解決貧窮永續發展是我們的首要任務,但並不是用「幫助、拯救」的價值,直接給予大量資源。我們意識到,唯有先建立關係、彼此信任,才能一起找到最好的方式,理解村落的需求,並提出適合的解決方案。不論是農耕、修房建廁或是公共衛生教案與家庭訪問。分享資源的同時,我們也增進對對方的理解,分享各自的生活與觀念。我們希望培力更多在地領袖,透過在地的領導與分享,和我們一起達成願景。
Today, you can become a part of an East African village by participating in and working alongside the local inhabitants to improve their lives. Although ending poverty remains our top priority, our approach is not simply “saving them” by donating large amounts of resources. Instead, we have realized that only by first building a relationship based on mutual trust can we arrive at the optimal results. Therefore we first try to understand the needs of the villages, and then provide appropriate solutions to their problems, whether it is problems regarding agriculture, construction, or public sanitation. As we share our resources, we also share our own views and in the process gain a deeper understanding of each other. We hope to develop more local leaders among them and in doing so, achieve our vision.
