EDUCATION

Each group of the four groups has to ensure that every school going age of children go to school, the child’s learning in a particular level, every child should get education.

PERFORMANCE

The performance of our children our children last year 2019 was promising most of our children were promoted to different next levels of learning.

Even one child we have at the university during December semester his results were promising he is getting on well.

FEEDING CHILDREN AT SCHOOL

We received money last December through River Fund and we managed to buy food for our children. They get break and get lunch of posho and beans

Feeding children at their homes

The children who are very needy are provided with posho and beans to feed at home for their sapper and weekends. The needy include the child headed families and those who stay with very old widows.

CHILD HEADED FAMILIES

These are provided with food always because this is the only way they can survive. They can take care of themselves and they are always visited by the councilors to confront.

SCHOLASTIC MATERIALS AND UNIFORMS

It is the duty of every group to buy and provide scholastic materials and uniforms to every child in every group.

We have not yet provided scholastic materials and uniforms for 2020 because we are short of funds when we realize funds we shall embark on these two items.

FEES TOP UP

We top up fees to the very needy OVC whenever there is need for it and sometimes where very needy we pay full fee, like one at Mbale University is directly paid for by Riverfund, this is great.

REFARALS

We always follow up the needs of our children and make sure they are secured where need be we referral them to PEFO technical for simple trainings like hair dressing tailoring and brick laying for boys.

CENTER SCHOOLS

Some groups have created center schools; which help to feed needy children and get education and help on child’s day.

CHILD’S DAY

On this day the children come together in a particular group like Bugiri, RWEN, Tororo, Amonikakaine children converge together eat together do different plays MDD, Sometimes football or netball. Here children learn to share with their friends and get friends.

CARE FOR OVC/ HEALTH/HIV

We make sure our children keep healthy feed them well, they get counselling by the trained counsellors trained in long term survival skills/ HIV AIDS.

Those with the virus we make sure they get drugs and take them in time as advised by their doctors.

SCHOOL DROP OUT

Some of our girls drop out of school due to different reasons best known by themselves. We follow up and counsel them and guide them to the right way give them simple training as referred to the organization like PEFO for simple training like hair dressing and tailoring.

CHALLENGES

We have not yet provided scholastic materials and uniforms for this 2020 because we have lacked funds.

There is a big problem a head of us, we received continuous rain last year and the yield of our crops was not good and food may be very expensive to buy for our children next term two of learning

DEVELOPMENTS

Our children learning was good last year and our children are back at school

We have food for the whole of this term one.

SUGGESTION

We suggest that if we had transport/ children should visit other places to meet their friends to learn and explore more.

If funds are realized then we can buy uniforms and scholastic materials this year and if possible also fees top up.

God bless you all.

Education

We make sure that every school age going go to school

Schools are closing up from 29^th/November to 6^th/December and we are expecting them at home

Reference:

We are looking to seeing their exam leaving results as schools close

Feeding at school:

We had enough food for our children to feed them up to the end of the term III (three) but no food for the children as the year 2020 begins. We should buy food our children.

Feeding at home:

The feeding of these homes never ends. We feed them throughout the year. We are running short of food everywhere.

Scholastic materials:

We are looking forward to buying them in case funds are realized because they aid the children learning.

Uniforms:

We pray that funds are realized so that we buy uniforms since most schools open up in January.

Fees top up

We put up some little funds to top up fees for some of our children.

Health care:

We have to see to it that our children keep healthy. We have trained to report early in case they are sick we also encourage them to eat a lot of fruits to keep them healthy. We make sure that they are clean and access treatment whether they are sick to keep healthy.

HIV/AIDS:

Some of children we take care of come from HIV/AIDS families some were born with a virus, it is our duty to take care of them and make sure they are not isolated from the groups where they belong, We make sure they get drugs as scheduled .all these are followed by counseling by the trained members.

Child headed families:

These are the cases of HIV/AIDS, families the mothers and fathers gone, the elder child becomes the leader of the family. We are always particular on them. We make sure that they are recognized by the group members. We always keep beans and posho for them when members return beans or maize we give it to them.

Developments:

Our children are going home for holidays and no debts with people because of food for our children.

Challenges:

We have had a lot of rain and the yield of maize, beans, and other crops is not doing well.

Suggestions:

We are looking forward to buying scholastic materials and uniforms in early January if funds are realized in time

God bless you.
