Protect 32,000 School Children from Malaria

Sr. Camilla believes that she is changing the future of Uganda.  We do too.  Sr. Camilla has dreamed of helping educate the future of Uganda.  She knows this will prevent future women from undergoing the difficulties that she has undergone.  In the early 2000s, Sr. Camilla worked in Northern Uganda.  The Lord’s Resistance Army was active in abducting children.  The fear that they promoted inhibited people from farming which led to no crops and widespread hunger.  Sr. Camilla was not afraid.  She started her own garden on a plot of land and used the food to feed homeless and displaced children.  She denounced the actions of the LRA.  Knowing that she was not afraid of them, the LRA abducted Sr. Camilla hoping to scare her away from serving the children.   After some time in captivity, Sr. Camilla escaped.  She wanted to promote education in Uganda knowing that knowledge protects against the ideas spread by the LRA. 

Sr. Camilla always desired to build a school for children affected by the LRA.  She has achieved this goal.  She built St. Monica’s School which serves the children of those displaced by the LRA.  St. Monica’s has grown to include children through third grade and is expanding every year.  It provides a quality education for children who would not otherwise have the opportunity.  Every year, St. Monica’s receives insecticide treated nets from NETwork Against Malaria in order to keep these children healthy and in school.  Thank you for helping with the health and education for the children of St. Monica.  Thank you for making Sr. Camilla’s dream possible.
