Give Early Education & Hope to Ugandan Children

Act4Africa is celebrating our 20th Year in November, and you are invited to celebrate with us! 

We would like to personally invite you to our virtual celebration on Saturday 20th November at 12pm GMT via Zoom. Our 20th celebration with a virtual tour of Uganda, will bring our community from across the world together to reflect and celebrate all we have achieved. We are excited to bring you something a little different this year, and we hope that you can join us. 

Through your generous giving you are helping to give young women and children access to a brighter future. Over the last 20 years Act4Africa has changed attitudes, transformed communities, and saved lives across East Africa. Over the last 20 years, we have:

• Provided quality early-years’ education to hundreds of children at Kathy’s Kindergarten (see update below)
• Provided holistic health and vocational training to 105+ vulnerable adolescent mothers 
• Trained over 600 healthcare workers and young people to teach others about gender equality and sexual health
• Provided life skills, financial literacy and business enterprise skills to over 9000 disadvantaged women and girls
• Supported 13 girls since 2018 to progress through higher education as part of our Grow A Girl programme
• Provided almost two million people with HIV/AIDS and sexual health awareness training
• Through Grains for Growth, we provided agriculture training for 35 small-holder farmers, increasing their ability to feed their families and earn an income

We could not have delivered our projects without your support, which has given the greatest gift of all to the people of Uganda, the gift of a better life. We would love to celebrate with you on Saturday 20th November 12 at 12:00 GMT, if you can join us please RSVP by Monday 1st November via emailing admin@act4africa.org.uk

Looking forward to 2022

Since March 2020, schools in Uganda have been repeatedly shut down in an effort to prevent transmission of Covid19. As a result most children have missed out on nearly 2 years of education. The young pupils at Kathy's Centre have been supported with home-learning and catch-up learning sessions during the brief periods of time when these activities were allowed. However, there is light on the horizon! The government of Uganda is rolling out Covid19 vaccines across the country and they are prioritising school teachers in teh hopes that all schools will be able to reopen in 2022. The teachers at Kathy's Kindergarten have all received their first vaccine doses! We plan to reopen Kathy's Kindergarten in January 2022 and we simply can't wait to welcome our young students back into the classroom for some play-based learning and fun.

Thank you for supporting this life changing work!
