FOR $10 HELP A VULNERABLE CHILD BACK TO SCHOOL

Covid 19 Pandemic has severly affected the education sector in Uganda. Many children reported for the first time in class to meet with Teachers on 10th of January 2022 after being at Home for two years. Many teenage girls got pregnant during this period. Many parents or care takers lost jobs and other sources of income. A number of private schools could not re-open because the proprietors became bankrupt. Parents were scrambling for the limited space as a big numbers of children who were supposed to join school two years ago went to school at once. We were able to send 19 chidren to school 11 girls and 8 boys. We thank GlobalGiving for this platform and all the donors who contributed to make it possible for these children to go back to school.12 children were provided with basic scholastic materials like books pens uniforms to attend day schools. 7 children were enrolled into boarding schools because the closest school from their homes is more than 20 miles. In Uganda we have three school terms and school fees and scholastic materials are needed every term. The fist tern will break for three weeks in April and eary May children are expected to go back to school. We still appeal to our partners to keep contributing through this platform so that we can keep the future of these children alive.

We thank our partners especially those who have contributed to the covid relief fund. We were able to vaccinate people with over 3.000 doses of Astra Zenca vaccine in Arua District in West Nile Region of Uganda when the newly created District did not have the human resource to administer the vaccines with the expiry dates fast approaching. We were able to support over 100 health workers with personal protective equipment (PPEs) when all the health workers were fearing to work on their patients due to lack of PPEs. We were able to give over 2,000 cloth masks to vulnerable groups especially market vendors motorcycle taxi riders because they could not get back to their work without masks and the open market prices were extremely high. We need more support to roll out covid 19 vaccinations. The vaccines will be available in the coming months and we need the human resource to get the vaccines out to the vulnerable communities. There is urgent need to support our volunteer health workers with transport ,food and accomodation to make the perform their activities efficiently. Any support will go a long way to help us achieve our mission.
