Help Us Reach Our School Year - 2022
By Andrew M. Niwagaba | Project Leader

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to this project so far. It has been a long but worthwhile journey. We are a month away to the final national examination period of 2022. It has been a challenging year but I believe that life is about having HOPE for the better.
Bright, AnnaMary and Evas will be sitting for their National Primary Leaving examinations in 2022. The three candidates have had a tough academic year...having lost two years during the COVID 19 Pandemic. In 2022, they have been pushed in and out of class for non payment of school fees in the course of the three school terms of the year. Despite these challenges, they are still committed to completeing primary school and joining secondary school in 2023 with your support.
To ensure that the three candidates have a smooth ending of the school year, we are URGENTLY trying to raise USD 350 to clear the outstanding school fees bill for all the five children at Basecamp Primary School and solve a few other needs. If you are considering an end of year donation, feel free to join our efforts in trying to enable these teenagers sit for their final national examinations in early November 2022. We thank you for your support always.
The struggle continues. Keep Safe

Pursuing the Future is our Dream
By Andrew M Niwagaba | Project Leader
Greetings to you all our donors, friends and well wishers. I hope and pray that this report finds you in good health. Thank you so much for your kind and generous assistance and support. that keeps this project going. It is fine with us to always know that we can rely on your wonderful actions of support.
As you might already know, we have been through challenging times but have always come through and kept the focus. As we continue to heal from the realities and devastating effects of Covid 19 pandemic lock down that locked our children out of school for two years, the current rise in prices for essential commodities and fuel are complicating the situation further. Reports of some sections of Ugandans starving to death are all over the media. I am however happy to report that with your help and support, none of the children has missed a meal so far.
The children are back to school after the teachers called off their two weeks national strike due to low wages. The candidate students (Evas, Bright and Annamary) are done with the registration process of the national examinations due in November 2022. We are all excited and happy for them for this milestone. We however still have a challenge of settling the school fees balances for the second term. We also require a steady supply of essential household items and food items.
I know that times are hard in different ways and at different levels for all of us. I am, however, and continue to be humbled by your thoughtfulness and assistance during these hard times and over the years. We can still do more with the support and generosity. Always remember that your assistance is greatly appreciated. I can never thank you enough.

First School Term 2022 Updates
By Andrew M, Niwagaba | Project Leader
Greetings to you all our donors, friends and well wishers that have supported the project over the years. We at NAF are grateful for your continued support. We could not have registered project achievemnets without your assistance and support. Thank you always. The first school term of 2022 is underway after two years of school closures in Uganda. We are glad that there seem to be no indications that there will be more closures in the future unless something drastic happens in regard to COVID 19. The children lost two years of their academic life and are now committed to picking up from where they stopped.
I am happy to report that Bright, AnnaMary, Evas and Ian are in theior candidate classes and will register and sit for the Primary leaving Examinations at the end of 2022. Ian will be sitting for his O'level certificate examinations. Tracy, Trevor, Godwin, Aineamani are back to school too (Lower Primary). Isaac and Natasha should have joined secondary school and certificate training respectively but due to the current financial challenges, they are still home. Gladis has since completed her teaching certificate course and is now a kindergaten teacher and on her own. Kobwa an Hungu were are nolonger with us as they ere taken back to Rwanda by their surviving relatives. Breah has since left the house too and is now on his own trying to make ends meet as a young adult.
It has been tough providing for the children - it always is - but I am happy to report that we have been recieving some food and household assistance from our old beneficiaries Phina, James and Ponsiano who qualified in different disciplines and are working. They however have to take care of their families and personal needs but nevertheless we are honoured to see that they have not abandoned the journey. We are determined to continue supporting the children that are still with us. It is very important to offer them all the support they need to shape their future. Your support and assistance to the project remains valuable for us to achieve this objective. We thank you always.
