Child Crisis Center Uganda's (CCCU) mission has always been to bring accessible education to the underdeveloped community of Magooli, Uganda. In this remote part of Uganda, the children who were fortunate enough to attend school (prior to CCCU’s involvement), had to put up with undesirable circumstances that led to a high dropout rate. The children used to walk 4-5 kilometers to school in the morning and then 4-5 kilometers back home. This walk is not only long, but it is dangerous for many of the children (especially the girls) and they are walking barefoot and in all weather conditions. During the school day, a child attending government schools will be in a classroom of at least 50 children (and sometimes upwards of 200 children) in a classroom all trying to compete for attention and direction from one teacher. Child Crisis Center Uganda has worked hard to bring a nonprofit educational academy to the community and alleviate the need for the children to travel and compete in overcrowded government schools.
Child Crisis Center Uganda's school, Magooli Children's Education Center - Namayingo (MCEC) has transformed the lives of the children tremendously. GlobalGiving has been a huge resource to us since the partner application process. Since this project began, the revenue generated by the GlobalGiving Campaign allowed us to pay our teachers while they were unable to officially work due to COVID-19, as well as purchase vital supplies and materials that we have had to previously reprioritize during the pandemic. This project has supplied the school with cabinets to store work, and a printer and ink to print out teachers' lessons; as this allowed the teachers to travel with lessons for each child and provide homeschooling.
In addition, thanks to the organization eMite, CCCU was able to construct a kitchen and cafeteria with working stoves. This greatly reduced the cooking time for preparing school lunches from seven hours to one hour, as well as secured the meals for the children while they are at school due to the fact that weather is no longer a possible disturbance for the Cooks, as they previously prepared meals outdoors.
Thanks to a generous donor, our nonprofit was also recently able to implement a chicken farm consisting of 650 chickens and a feed grinder as a sustainable source of food and income for the Education Center. CCCU was also able to recently purchase uniforms. We were also able to provide our kitchen and cafeteria space with 14 tables and 60 chairs for the children to eat at during their lunch periods. Over the summer, CCCU had the opportunity to host a volunteer from Germany who assisted our teachers with the mathematics curriculum. Most recently, thanks to another generous donor, Sole Hope, the children and commnity were supplied with 500 new pairs of shoes! The overall moral of the school has become so positive as these various advancements have been implemented, and we could not be more excited or grateful for this.
In October, CCCU turned 5 and we cannot believe how much we have been able to accomplish from the ground up since we began, and it's all thanks to generous donors, such as yourselves. We thank everyone for their continued support and who donated to CCCU during the most recent littlexlittle campaign. We are hopeful that as we work towards our goal that we can continue to sustain our education center, and then some!
In December, CCCU hosted its first ever graduation ceremony! Thanks to our donors, we were able to raise funds for caps and gowns, as well as cusotm certificates and refreshments, as we celebrated our primary class! Congrats to the primary class of 2022!
Our most recent update that we have been SO excited to share with you all is our recent partnership with Terra Tech and The Reiner Meutsch Foundation Fly and Help! We have COMPLETED the construction of THREE new classrooms, staff quarters, and new latrines for our children! We are now feasibly accomodating around 336 children ages 5-18, 11 teachers/staff, one cook, and one nurse. The new school term kicked off on May 21st, and the children and teachers alike are so happy to be back in the classroom!
However, with more advancements comes more financial responsibility in regards to funding the academy's monthly expenses. As we grow, Child Crisis Center Uganda needs to financially support more children and more staff! We are eager to raise funds that will go towards sustaining the salaries of our school staff as well as securing fencing around the property of the school. Just last week, theives broke into the premises and stole half of our cooking firewood supply. These break-ins pose a threat to our supplies but more importantly, to the safety of our children. For this reason, we are still hopeful that we will reach our goal through GlobalGiving, so that we may keep the school afloat and purchase fencing materials, as our monthly budget has increased. CCCU gives children a safe space close to home where they can receive individualized attention with the support of detailed and planned out curriculums. The Education Center is the heart of CCCU and we must keep it going!

We are in the process of constructing seveal bew additions to the Magooli Children's Education Center, including three classrooms, teachers' quarters, and new sanitary facilities! We cannot express our gratitude for this grant and partnership, as it is going to transform life for our children and teaching staff as we know it, as well as enable children 15-18 to attend the school! We are so thankful!

Currently there are 214 children attending the Education Center along with eight teachers, one cook and one nurse all on payroll, which will be increasing later in the year due to construction advancements.

After providing the school structure, Child Crisis Center Uganda then looked even further at the individual hindrances to education in an underdeveloped community. The main theme we saw here was lack of sanitation as well as lack of privacy. There is a high dropout rate amongst girls when they begin to menstruate - without proper sanitary pads, or a private space away from the boys and others to deal with this change, the girls instead just stopped attending school all together. It is important to our organization that everyone is able to get an education. For this reason we regularly provide sanitary supplies to the children, and we have also constructed a three stall latrine that provides each child with the privacy they need. However, our pit stall latrine was built for only 60 children. Currently, 214 children plus teaching staff are using the latrines while in school. CCCU is in desperate need of funding to replace this three stall system, and this will be one of our main fundraising focuses in the year ahead!

CCCU is in need now more than ever! A great opportunity to give to CCCU is on July 20th. The July Bonus day is designed to celebrate high dollar donors ($100 or more) and help GlobalGiving partners move smaller donors to new heights! Please consider donating on July 20th. Unlike other bonus days, funds will run out, so the earlier, the better! Please consider checking out our recurring payment options as well, as we are hoping to increase our pool of recurring donors! Even $20 a month makes a huge difference. Thank you!
