Summary

Housing is a basic need in life, but due to high levels of poverty in Uganda many families have no access to decent housing. Community Shelters Uganda are building houses for 50 families who are currently homeless or in inadequate and unsafe housing and providing pit-latrines, bathrooms and water tanks for harvesting clean water. These houses will be built for targeted vulnerable people, such as the elderly, HIV/AIDS affected and infected mothers and children.

Challenge

Mbale District is one of the districts found in Eastern Uganda that have been adversely affected by poverty since independence. According to the needs assessment report conducted by Community Shelters Uganda (CSU), the district had an estimated population of 361,329 of which about 42% are in abject poverty without decent homes. Many years of poverty have undermined the population's capacity to be self-sufficient and have reduced the community development to deplorable levels.

Solution

The project will provide simple decent houses for the selected needy homeless families, Improved pit-latrines, bath rooms and waters tanks for harvesting clean / safe water to targeted groups such as the elderly persons, HIV/AIDS affected and infected mothers and children. Better houses will drastically reduce on malaria prevalence and many other health challenges that have affected these communities over time.

Long-Term Impact

The project will contribute sustainably to the improvement of living standards of the underprivileged. Better housing for vulnerable groups such as the elderly or HIV/AIDS affected families will drastically improve health and sanitation conditions in the long term for the whole community, including reducing the impact of malaria.

ELEANOR WALRUS

The Band:

* Jeff Weise: Guitar

* Eric Kurtzrock: Drums

* Mike Tony: Keys

* Stephen Cunningham: Bass

Eric, Jeff, Mike and Steve came together to do Beatles tunes, primarily from their psychedelic era, onward. Bringing together our musical sensibilities from jam bands, jazz, and various styles of rock, we agreed to NOT just be another Beatles cover band. We don't wear Beatles clothes or uniforms and we definitely don't wear wigs.

Instead, in the spirit of the Beatles experimental approach, we decided to change some of the arrangements and instrumentation, add some extra solos, extend certain songs into improvised jams, and creatively incorporate different sounds and effects.

The name Eleanor Walrus was chosen because just about every Beatles lyric worth using has been taken by the countless Beatles cover bands out there. But it also reflects our enjoyment of juxtaposing disparate elements and creating something a little off the beaten path. All of this we do with great love and appreciation for the Beatles brilliant and timeless songwriting.

Review of Eleanor Walrus by Baila Pirchesky - Chief Editor for Blupela.com The One World Blue Network

"Eleanor Walrus's band has widespread appeal to audiences of all ages. I recently saw the band perform at the newly renovated Thunderbird Cafe in historic Lawrenceville of Pittsburgh, PA. The performance was a feature of Eleanor Walrus and the Grateful Dead Cover tribute band Fungus. The bands performance was STELLAR!! The audience completely came alive with the Tribute Bands performances on this past Labor Day weekend 2019. It seems to me in my humble opinion that Eleanor Walrus will soon become a household name in Pittsburgh and elsewhere they venture.

Stay tuned for Eleanor Walrus as they continue to make their footprint here in the Pittsburgh area and elsewhere that the road will lead them. Please consider booking them at your venue. You will not be disappointed and they will gather and entertain a crowd that will keep them coming back to you again and again!!"
