resulted in attracting dozens of others to join
making good things happen in a short five year period,
including:
Education Accomplishments:
• Construction of 11 kindergarten schools, 2 junior
high schools, and one kindergarten/primary school; World
Joy also remodeled a second junior high school and
supported 9 high school students on scholarship.
• Planned a first-ever community education center in
Abomosu village, and secured funding for a significant
portion of the facility from a generous donor.
Construction is expected to begin soon.
Health Accomplishments:
• Construction of 3 school-based toilet facilities
for students.
• With support from Latter-day Saint charities
provided 17 new village water wells and refurbished 33
non-functional water wells.
• Drafted with full cooperation of regional and
health authorities, a health care initiative which will
provide improved primary health care in 20 rural
villages. Implementation will begin rolling out shortly.
While World Joy is still not in a position to do
‘everything,’ it can and is doing ‘something’. The
highest current priorities of the World Joy board are to
get a community education center built, and to
cooperatively launch the effort to improve and expand
primary health care to a group of 20 villages (35-40,000
people) which currently have little or no services.
