By Andrew Martin Niwagaba | Project Leader
I would like to extend my greetings to all our donors, friends and well wishers. As you might already know, I have been away to Sweden since August 2017 and I am happy to report that I am back to Uganda, and to the project and the Organisation having graduated with a MSc. Development Studies of Lund University. I am looking forward to utilising the knowledge acquired to further improve on the operations of NAF.
My time in Sweden was very productive and beneficial to me as an individual, the project and the Organisation at large. As a Swedish Institute scholar, i directly donated over half of my stipend for the entire time i was away for studies to ensure continuity of the project. I must admit that we curently have fundraising challenges partly as a result of inadequate manpower. We are continuosly trying to have this challenge adequately dealt with in the near future.
Since my return, I have been trying to reconnect with the children, staff, suppliers and now the donors. We are currently laying strategies for improving on our online fundraising for the project and dealing with some of the current challenges such as school fees as we map a way forward for the project. The project remains relevant to the beneficiaries and I am happy to report that we grown the number of the beneficiaries to 20 children, 13 of whom are residential and the other 7 are being supported from their respective homes. It is with your support that we are able to continue shaping these childrens future and we thus are grateful and request for your continued support to the project.
