Thanks for your support towards Mountains of Hope programmes, you supported children under our care with school uniform so they can continue going to school, however due to the out break of the corona pandemic globally, a total lock down was declared in Uganda and schools were closed down before the end of the first term, children are at home and the government of Uganda is making arrangements to have children learn at home using radios and television, but most families do not have acess to such gadgets as rural areas do not have access to electricity.
The total number of Covid 19 cases in Uganda as of today stands at 774, 486 recoveries and no deaths, every other day, the numbers keep increasing especially from the truck drivers that carry cargo across boarders, the truck drivers infect Ugandan contacts hence increased community infections, the government of Uganda is most likely not to open schools soon.
There are local educational institutions which offer printed study material at a cost so that chidren can keep studying even while at home, this project is cosidering taking that direction to enable children access print material so that they are not left behind especially those that donot have radios, smart phones or television sets in their homes.
This project has planned $30 per child to access self study materials to enable them continue schooling even when at home, at the moment this project is enabling 10 vulnerable children access quality education that they deserve. We will be happy if you considered giving a child an education even amidst the corona pandemic, $30 per child; follow the link below to support this program https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/mohsponsor/
