Warm greetings to all our donors, friend and well wishers. I hope this report finds you well. Glad to report that the children had a peaceful first term holiday break after a shaky start of the school year. On several occassions during the term, they were sent back home due to lack of school fees payment. Despite the outright challenges that we face at the moment, we are still determined to achieve the project objectives, still fghting on and think we can do better with your continued assistance.
The second school term of the year began on 22nd May 2023. I am happy to report that all the seven children currently under our care reported on the school opening day. As always, I encourage the children to maximize on attendence before the schools start sending them home for lack of fees payment. Although the children were able to attend school for most of last term, NAF was not able to make a single payment to the school for the three in secondary school. We thus have an outstanding fees bill of over 300 dollars that we ought to setttle given that the children have meals (lunch) at school and the lunch bill is part of the outstanding balance. With the new school term already in progress, I worry that it is just a matter of time before the three secondary school students are pushed out of class for non payment.
Relatedly, the food situation at the house is getting worse and has left us in debts with suppliers. Prices of all essential commodities are on the rise and this makes it difficult for us to adequately provide for the children. We need your help and financial support so that we are able to continue taking care of these children as they work towards shaping their future.
Thank you
