Education

All our children from nursery level to university level are now at school and we thank God for that and it is our prayer education system continues as it was before covid-19.

Scholastic Materials

We received funds from our donors early.

January though the River Fund  we have been able to provide all the necessary scholastic materials for all our children in our four groups and our children are very happy to be in school so is everybody.

Uniforms

Our children have now been provided with uniforms we received funds early and we have provided uniforms to our children in time.

Feeding children at school

Food like beans and maize has been provided for children to feed at school we are grateful for that fund was given to us in time.

Feeding at home

Children who stay with old women feed with their grandmothers at home. Food has been provided for them.

Child headed families

Always food is provided for them and we have provided food for these families. These children feed at home and at school too.

Health care / HIV Aids

We try to keep our children healthy on diets and medical care especially those HIV /Aids positive. Their clinic days are always known to them and we make sure they take their drugs in time stick to covid-19 rules of wash and wash.

Long term survival skills are essential for a balanced diet to keep healthy.

Centre schools

They are coming up slowly, since the covid-19 problem has become a big problem.

 School drop out

These are mostly girls they have grown very big and some have dropped out of schools. Such children are visited and encouraged to go to school. Teachers and parents have counseled them with the help of our trained counselors in every group.

Referrals

Some of our girls have been referred to project places like PEFO and other organizations for tailoring, hair dressing and catering.

Fees top up

We give some little to up to OVCs where necessary to help our children learn especially in higher learning institution this is always done whenever we receive funds as we received in January 2022, we made a top up to those very needy in all our four groups depending on the needs of the group.

Child’s day

Now that schools have opened fully this day will begin again as it was before. Each group has planned for this day in the nearest future.

Challenges

Our group leader of Tororo, Rose has died. It is a great loss. May her soul rest in internal peace.

Developments

Schools have fully opened up and all our children go to school.

We have bought uniforms and food has been given out.

God bless you
