Wulugu at BUY AT
4 November 2008


Following the launch of our fund raising web shop on the Buy At website last March, within a matter of weeks a cheque arrived from Buy At for the sum of £ 64.99. However receipts have now virtually dried up, so we need to spread the word on this one to get our families and friends, many of whom will be shopping on the internet, to do their shopping via Buy At.

Over one hundred retailers are now available to online shoppers via the Wulugu page www.buy.at/Wulugu on the Buy At website.

Do you know anyone who shops online? Marks & Spencer, John Lewis, BT, Next, Amazon, B & Q and ASDA are just a few of the household names available.

Do you know anyone who books holidays and hotels, or buys insurance online? Expedia, Shearings Holidays, Saga and Holiday Inn are all represented, as are the Co-operative, Legal & General, MORE TH>N, Prudential and Zurich insurance companies.

How do you use Buy At?

It’s really very simple.

First, go to our web shop at this address: www.buy.at/Wulugu

From there, find the retailer that you wish to buy from, either using the A-Z directory of available retailers or by using the Category search. You will then be transferred to your chosen retailer’s website, where you can place your order in the usual way.



Hostel for Girls at Sawla
16 July 2008


Work has begun on a hostel for girls at Sawla. This will enable girls from the remotest villages to safely attend school and learn to earn a living as well as family and health care.



Vocational school at Sawla
16 July 2008


The District Assembly of Sawla asked Wulugu Project for help to build a Vocational School for Girls in their District. Salwa is very remote, 100km on dirt roads from the town of Tamale, near the Ivory Coast Border and with no post-primary education for girls After the successful building, equipping and opening of four similar vocational schools in Northern Ghana we knew we had the expertise to repeat this in such a very challenging location,

The schools are for girls aged between 15 and 20 to enable them to continue their studies in English, maths and health and gain skills to help them to earn money or set up their own small businesses. There are courses in typing, tailoring, weaving, batik, tie-dying , catering, and hairdressing. Girls, who left school after 6 years primary education and sought unskilled work in the cities, are flocking back to school to gain skills and have a chance to study and work their way out of poverty. They have the full support of their parents many of whom had no opportunity to attend school and are often unable to read or write.

After successfully completing the course in dressmaking at Buipe Vocational School, three girls have been given hand sewing machines to start up their own business in their villages. By helping these young women we are helping the families of the future. We hope to continue this support of other students.

Two generous benefactors, including Man Group plc. Charitable Trust, have agreed to fund the building and furnishing of the Sawla Vocational School, which started in April and will be finished by September.

We now need funds to buy typewriters, sewing machines, cookers, looms, scissors and materials to get the courses started. Ghana Education Service pays the teachers and trainers. There are already 200 students enrolled at Sawla vocational School and another 250 in waiting. The school will give the young women of this isolated area of Sawla a real chance to help themselves and their district have a better life
