In March 2011, the local Lira District government, in Northern Uganda conducted spot checks of five water sources to monitor their functionality. Lifeline's Okello Amuku well was commended as the best managed of the five sites.

In 2010, Lifeline partnered with the 

UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA)  

to produce 11,000 cook-stoves  

benefiting approximately 55,000  

displaced Haitians.   

Lifeline has since expanded its Haitian cookstove initiative through several new partnerships, including with:

Caritas Austria, Trees Water People, The Adventure Project and  

Development Alternatives Inc (DAI).   

Together with our partners, 

Lifeline is launching a stove  

commercialization pilot project  

with the Zanmi Pye Bwa stove 

(creole for 'Friend of the Trees').   

Savings

With fuel savings that can exceed 40%  and a minimum life of 1 year, the ZPB will be the foundation of our  stove vendor project in Haiti.

Close to the Somali border, Dadaab hosts the  

largest concentration of refugees in the world, 

taking in over 300,000 predominantly Somali  

refugees in the past two decades.  Lifeline has

trained and mobilized a community of 31 refugee staff in two of the three Daadab refugee camps.   

In 2010 we produced approximately 4,900 cook-stoves, benefiting some 27,000 Somali refugees. So far, in 2011, we have produced 3,000 cook-stoves benefiting 18,000 refugees.

Since mid-2009, Lifeline has partnered with charity : water to drill 95 boreholes that are providing safe water for 56,000beneficiaries.    

Of these 95 boreholes we have  

drilled 20 boreholes in Gulu and Amuru in  Northern Uganda partnership with   

Invisible Children just this year.  

We also recently partnered with Three Avocados to repair 5 non-functioning  boreholes.   

We have already completed 2 of the repairs which are filling  

the clean  water needs of 722 beneficiaries at a cost of just over $2 per person.

Lifeline kicked off the Summer Happy Hour  Series at Chi-Cha Lounge Thursday June 23rd. The two-hour event raised $1,030 for our fuel-efficient stove programs. 

Many thanks to our wonderful supporters!
