Executive summary
The July Bonus Day 2020 was one interesting fundraising even we participated for the second time on GlobalGiving Foundation platform.
Even with the pandemic ravaging every part of the world our donors have kept us in their minds thus their contributions to our project. Both our main and Mircoprojecct received funding that made us even share the GGF bonus cake! We continue appreciate it all and thank our donors greatly.
We are in close contact with 13 trainees we sent home because of the lockdown that government of Uganda declared to minimise the spread of Covid-19 and are optimistic that training institutions will be open soon so that they can complete their studies and become Independent.
