EDUCATION

We make sure that our children go school whenever schools open. We are in term of learning in our schools and all children go to school they are at school right now and learning of term two is on.

Our children’s performance of term two in our four groups was good and promising according to their reports from school where each of them goes for learning.

FEEDING AT SCHOOL

When the year begins, children get maize and beans to take to school up to the end of term II then when harvest is done for season one parents give support from term three of learning.

Term three, there is fear because the season has not been good, very poor yield is realized because of not having good rain fall. There is hunger in our communities, people are suffering so are our children.

FEEDING CHILDREN AT HOME

The child headed family children feed at home and at school therefore food is provided to them to feed at home, it is mainly beans and maize.

We make sure the maize is grinded for them.

There are also children staying with the old women who lost their sons and daughters they also get beans and maize whenever funds are realized with the motto that we help those in need.

SCHOLASTIC MATERIALS

These are always provided to children at the beginning of the year whenever funds are realized. This mama We love our children.

UNIFORMS

We always provide uniforms to our children immediately funds are realized from our kind donors. These were got in early February

FEES TOP UP

Each group does the top up of fees according to their needs. It is done to the very needy children.

HEALTH CARE: HIV/AIDS

We make sure our children come from HIV/AIDS. Some were born with the virus: we make sure they get their drugs in time and attend their clinic days without fail. Counselors visit these positive children and educate them counsel them to help them overcome stigma and stress.

CHILD’S DAY

We sometimes invite children so that meet and share different activities together, practice drama, do quizzes, sing and dance culturally and share meals planned for them.

SCHOOL DROP OUT

We have tried to overcome this dropping out of school unnecessary, we guide them encourage them, to learn short courses like hair dressing, tailoring. We refer them to Pefo.

CARE FOR OVC (Orphans and other Vulnerable Children)

We take care of this group which is not happy.

We encourage them to go to Pefo to take short courses after p.7 or S.4 whenever they pick interest; we always make sure they are in school to keep them busy.

REFERALLS

There is a time when our children fail to complete school because of their own problems refer them to perform to take salon courses such as tailoring. These mostly and almost always make a fall up to help them.

DEVELOPMENTS

The school: Performance was generally good according to their report cards brought to us.

CHALLENGES:

There is a lot of hunger in our communities because season was without steady rainfall. All crops did not do well.
There will be no parents’ contribution of meals of children at school, as it has been before. Our parents have been contributing for their children’s food at school in Term III of learning.
Maize and beans were not realized in season II last year. Seeds given out did not do well.

SUGGESTION:

If possible, we request for more funds;

To buy seeds for planting – Maize and Beans.
To buy food for our hungry children and adults.

Education

This is our children’s term 1 of learning of 2023. Schools opened on the 6^th Feb, 2023 and all our children have gone to school at all levels of learning.

The system of learning is normal because there is smooth learning of children

We are grateful to our donors. We have already received funds and scholastic materials have been given to our learners in time.

Uniforms

Our children have already been given uniforms and they are smart on them.

Feeding at home

Children who are staying with old women can now feed well. They have been given beans and maize.

Most of them have ground their maize for food.

Feeding at school

Since we have already realized funds in time children have already taken their shares of beans and maize to school for their midday meals

Health care (HIV/AIDS)

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.

Our motto of long term survival skills are mostly practiced here, counseling is done, self-awareness kept and stress is avoided and no stigma.

Centre schools;

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

These youths sometimes they are called young mothers are referred to PEFO and other project organizations. We are trying to pay for the small demands of organizations where they practice tailoring, hair dressing sometimes computer according to the dropout interest.

The very needy get some little top up of their fees, sometimes money for grinding their maize since some cannot afford.

Child’s day care

We sometimes make it twice a year.

We prepare plays and MDD for them to come together, eat together and play together according to how each group’s planning.

Children got uniforms and scholastic materials and food for eating at school and all our children feed at school.

Challenges

There has been hot sunshine from late December to date we don’t know whether the season will be good.

Suggestions

If possible, can we prepare our children to visit other schools? Busia schools, Tororo Schools, Amonikakinei and Bugiri to see and learn what happens in other places

Conclusion

We love our dear donors who care for our needs and the needs of our children.
