Graduates 2009/2010
26 students graduated in December 2009 and ALL of our students passed their Primary Level Exams. Right now all of them are in Secondary School thanks to your generous support.
Our Staff on the Ground
We're growing! We have a new Country Manager. We have added on three new staff at Kutamba, and we have a full-time staff member in the US. We are working on streamlining our processes to deliver services better, report on progress more quickly and effectively, and be the best at what we do.
The "Mukaakas" (Grandmothers)
The Grandmothers are the true heroes of the AIDS pandemic in Africa. They take care of their orphaned grandchildren despite old age and incredible poverty. Our project provides support to these heroic ladies and are the key component of our community program as they care for the orphans.
The Blue Lupin Library
We have finished construction on the Blue Lupin Community Library. We are opening the doors April 26th 2010! Fill these rooms with children's and adult books to grow the minds of our kids and our communities.
Staff Development Workshop Winter 2010
We realize that all of our staff need continual training so that our kids and communities get the kind of services and ethical treatment they deserve. This workshop focussed on working with the disadvantaged, vulnerable child and mother.
