Educate Vulnerable Children in Rural E. Uganda

A PROGRESS REPORT FOR EDUCATE 600 ORPHANS PROJECT IN RURAL EASTERN UGANDA.

It is my sincere gratitude to report to you that our children have started doing their end of the year exams leading them to another level of education.

As the year 2014 is ending and we are happy that all our 600 children are at school, they are completing their end of year examination in mid December 2014. This has been made possible by our dear donors in the US and UK.

Your generosity has engraved remarkable memories in the hearts of these little young children.

To effectively fulfill our objectives and reach our educational support services to every child, RARUDO has a dedicated team of leaders in three districts Tororo, Busia and Bugiri where it operates, these team leaders work hand in hand with various respective school head teachers handling the task of educating and also bridging the gap between child and school staff and community members for better up bringing the children to be good citizens.

Challenges:

75% of Uganda ‘s population live in rural setting where poverty and  pandemic disease has stricken and where most cannot afford to meet better health, quality education  and majority of these are women and children who are has faced by  many of these  challenges, high cost of educational material, uniforms and infrastructure, teachers are underpaid, all rural school children go bare footed  and some stay  without a meal at school.

RARUDO is privileged to partner with The River Fund, Global Giving and Uganda local government whose contribution has allowed us support over 600 OVC with scholastic materials, School uniforms and sometimes meals at home.

The needs:

These are the needs that may give our children better life and better future  our hope is that we get the funds which can allow us  provide them with items as listed below:-

• Scholastic Material
• School Uniforms
• Some Foot Wear
• Girl-child support
• Bathing and washing soap
• Out of school dressing ( at least second hand clothing)
• Beddings (mattress, blankets, mosquito nets among others.)
• Tooth paste and tooth brush.
• At least a meal at school.
• The Measures to retain children at school to control the dropout rate

It is my humble request that we may have resources available to allow our children have a better bright future and build a strong nation Uganda.

 I give my sincere regards to all our donors at Global Giving, The River Fund, the Uganda government, local leaders and all well wishers for supporting our cause of bringing hope to the vulnerable community.

May God Bless you.

I remain yours in service,
