Our children look healthy. We make sure that those who are HIV+ get beans and maize, go to get their medicine on the right days as required so that they are healthy.

Centre schools;
These schools have improved. In some places, old women come for porridge at break time.

Learning of our children is now normal and levels of learning from nursery to university our children are at school for term two of learning unlike during COVID 19 period. We thank God for this; it is our prayer that the system continues.
On our work plan for scholastic material is running to the end of term two and materials have been given to children and learning is going on smoothly we received funds early
Uniforms have been provided to children this was in early January. Uniforms are provided once, a year, immediately we received funds through Riverfund. Uniforms were given out our children are smart on uniforms.
Maize and beans were bought for term one and term two. So children are feeding at school to the end of term two. Our children are alright and healthy
The very needy and child headed children get food to fed at home too these take care of themselves at home and food is provided by every group to these very needy because we serve those in need our motto of River Fund
This is the desperate group but we keep serving them and looking after them. Those positive living we make sure they get their drugs in time (ARV’S)
It is our duty to see to it that our children are healthy on diets and make sure that their clinic days are very well known to them. The counselors visit them and comfort them where need be always
We always remind them to stick on COVID 19 rules of keeping distance, avoid unnecessary movements to places and homes and wash hands with soap, wear their masks
We are trying to maintain them but COVID 19 had disturbed the system due to its demands.
This most for girls. We have always given them courage to keep them happy and active send them to small trainings like tailoring and hair dressing trained these children for small scale business, sell buns samosa and others keep them busy so that they are not wasted
We are beginning this term and we are preparing for it so that our children come together, and play, we hope they will enjoy
There are children who are very needy, these are the OVC’S we top up their fees to boost their fees payments
We have always referred the dropouts for short courses like tailoring, hair dressing. These are project places who do not demand much.
There is no food for term three for our children because the yield has not been good therefore parent’s contribution is not there in term three
The standard of our children’s learning is not up to date because the children did not go to school for 2 years
There is full learning and continuous learning of children, term one ended properly and we are on term 2 learning with all levels of learning at school
Our suggestions are that the rains were not systematic, in some places the seeds dried and fair yield at all
Our request is that if funds are available we buy seeds for children’s parents these are women for the second season, maize, beans, groundnuts, garlic, sukuma, onions and tomatoes.
We are grateful for all the assistance
God bless you

Our activities in regards to children
Education
The system of education is not good since Covid-19 started. Children are on and off some classes have not entered class like P.2 – P.3 and Senior 1 and we are worried of our education status in our country caused by Covid-19
It has been announced that all classes will begin in January 2022
Scholastic materials
We gave scholastic materials to all classes that were on and then off. We will need to provide again in January 2022.
Feeding at school
Whenever some class went to school, maize and beans were provided from funds received through River Fund for we serve those in need.
Feeding children at their home
Whenever there was no way to go to school, food was given to feed children at their home because life was hard for children since they were used to feed at school.
The child headed families have always been provided with food as usual.
Uniforms
For two years of covid-19 we failed to provide uniform to children due to short period of learning but in case funds are realized, we shall provide uniforms January 2022.
Fees top up
It has been done to top up fees for our very needy children but it has not been so useful because no sooner had fees been paid than schools closed.
Health care - HIV/AIDs
We try to keep our children healthy through our balanced diet as practiced in long term survival skills for HIV/AIDS training.
Our positive living children on ARVs are always visited and counseled by our councilors and make sure they keep their clinic day and get drugs in time.
Centre schools
Our center schools have not been up to date due to covid-19 and children could not go to these places but children stayed at home as we took care of them by providing them food to eat at home, maize and beans.
Child’s day
Covid-19 has hindered this child’s day because people have to say where they are. We cannot afford the expensive temperature gun and we have to obey the covid-19 practices.
Keep distance, wear masks, and wash hands with soap and water, sanitizer.
School dropout - girls.
It has been high especially our vulnerable and these are our girl children. They have a high drop out and some become young mothers and we are sorry about it.
Referrals
We have referred our school drops out for hair dressing and tailoring as we cannot have them to be idle
Developments
We received funds through River Fund and we have been able to grow beans and maize to feed out children at home and at school.
We are receiving rain after such a long drought from May to September.
Our children will all go to school next January 2022.
Challenges
There has been no smooth learning for our children. Learning has been on and off and some not going to school at all.
Very long drought has caused shortages of food and life has been hard on the side of food for feeding our children
Suggestions
Uniforms be provided to our children immediately schools open
Conclusion
We are grateful of River Fund who connects our needs to our donors.
