Greetings to you all our donors, friends and well-wishers. I hope you are keeping safe during the Covid 19 Pandemic. It has been a tough time for us at Ngoma Aid Foundation particularly during the last 16 months. The Covid 19 has affected the project in unimaginable ways although we still managed to register some success.
On a good note, two of our five candidates were able to sit for their final examinations with the financial support of one of our former beneficiaries Ms. Josephine We applaud her for the support. On a rather sad note, the other three candidates missed the final exams and are scheduled to register again this academic year that begins in August 2021 if and when the funds permit. The rest of the children in other classes have not attended school for over a year now. Schools in Uganda did open partially for some classes having been closed for over a year. Given the challenges we have encountered during Covid 19, we have not been in position to meet the financial demands of much shorter school terms and the pay on arrival school fees policy imposed by the school.
During the Covid 19 Pandemic period, we have focused on keeping the children safe from Covid, meeting their daily needs such as food and shelter and engaging them on acquiring life skills like cooking, cleaning, gardening, and self hygiene among others. We are hopeful that by the time schools reopen for the 2021 academic year - first term (if Covid 19 does not lead to another lock down); we will be fully prepared to send all the children back to school. It is important for the children to continue with their education as they continue to shape their future and this we can achieve with your help. We still face other challenges to meet our day today needs for the project. We hope you will continue to support the project as we continue to offer hope and direction to these children.
