EDUCATION

Our children go to school and schools are opening up on 9-09-2019. Each group has to monitor the reporting of their children at the right time of learning at different levels, nursery, primary, secondary and University.

PERFORMANCE

When term two closed the children brought in their results. The results of our children were promising and most of them were above average.

FEEDING AT SCHOOL

Our children feed at school. The food from last May to end of the year is provided for. We had planned for their food for term two and three of 2019.

FEEDING AT HOME

The child headed families’ children food at school and there is provision from them to feed at home and also children who stay with the elderly women from the funds received after May from River Fund..

SCHOLASTIC MATERIALS

Scholastic materials have been provided in early months of this year as we provide at the beginning of the year. We are keen to see to it that materials for the children that aid their good learning are at hand.

FEES TOP UP

We spare money for children’s top up of the fees in every group and this is a task to every group for the smooth learning of every child.

HEALTH CARE

We make sure our children keep healthy, they look healthy. We train them in early reporting when they are not feeling well for early treatment. Our children get quick treatment to keep healthy.

HIV/AIDS

Some of our children come from HIV/AIDS and some were born with AIDS and take care of them as there is need for ARV’s drug. We make sure they get their drugs in time and get treatment. Some have no money to go for clinics where is need the group members make this provisions counseling is always done by the counselors fit in their age groups not to be isolated.

CHILD HEADED FAMILIES

These are children who head families. They have no parents not even grands.

We make sure there is food. Example maize and beans. They eat at school; we provide some food to eat home.

We provide beans, maize, and ground nuts for panting this season.

DEVELOPMENTS

One child headed child, the one we trained in brick laying is now employed in Kenya and can assist his brother and the young sister.

We lost our elderly women but, she has left children and we are taking care of the remaining children. There is somebody in the family who has accepted to help us take care and we have given him seeds to plant for them.

CHALLENGES

We lost one of our elderly women who left two children of her late son.

SUGGESTION

Tour for our OVC’s is needed if possible.

God bless you

Care for OVC / child headed families.

We are making sure that all the school age going go to school from lower levels to high levels. We also monitor their performance when the school term closes.

Child headed families.

There is great care taken on this group of children. We provide them food both at school and at home.

Every group has to see to it that children of these families who are positive of HIV/AIDs go for their drugs and get them in time.

Health

We make sure our women, children and the community around keep healthy through balanced diet and quick treatment in short comings.

Day care centre

Some of our groups have formed day care centre, take care of children, provide break porridge and lunch for children and the elderly women mostly done by Rwen group.

Home visit

We visit our child headed family and listen to their needs and counsel them, Those on ARVS we check on whether they take their drugs promptly. We also visit old women, take food, give comfort talks to avoid worries.

Referrals

We have continued to refer our youths to PEFO for tailoring, computer and hair dressing and these are girls from Rwen group.

Scholastic materials

We have continued to provide scholastic materials to our children. This help them to go to school in time and well equipped whenever we receive funds through River Fund.

Uniforms

Uniforms are provided at every beginning of the year. Right now we are looking forward to providing scholastic materials and uniforms schools are opening on 04 -02-2019.

Developments

Our children’s performance has improved. Our children’s food is already in place since we bought it in time.

We have been boosted with new projects besides what we had but at a small scale.

HIV / AID, some our positive members’ treatment has been simplified to one tablet a day and with time they others will come to the same. They are very happy.

Challenges

Agriculture. The yield for the second, season has been very poor. Very little food and poor yield of the crops. There has been a long drought and we expect famine for our people.

Suggestions

We suggest that if possible food be bought for our groups to, be on a safe side for security of life this is posho and beans to avoid hunger in the nearest future.

Note from The River Fund:

We did provide funding for additional emergency food supplies for the school children.

Please see the photos and video from the Bugiri group.
