The National COVID-19 pandemic lock-down in Uganda has greatly devastated many families in Uganda but the families of orphans and vulnerable children are the most hit by this pandemic. Before the pandemic these families were already devastated by poverty and struggling to make ends meet but the complete lock-down has greatly suffocated them more that without your help, the situation may go beyond our control with negative effect. We need your help to provide basic necessities to these families.
Orphans and Vulnerable Children from 185 families in our Child Support Program in Mityana district of Uganda are highly affected by COVID-19 pandemic whereby they can hardly afford basic necessities like soap, salt, sanitary pads for the girl child, basic food like posho and beans, medical treatment in case of sickness among others. During these situation, there is untold suffering among these families
We work to ensure that the most vulnerable live a life free from poverty and your donation will help alleviate starvation and hunger among orphans and vulnerable children which may result into frustration, malnutrition and other diseases. The project will provide them with basic needs like soap, salt, food, sanitary towels for the girl child and medical care costs for the sick as well as carrying out ongoing counseling and guidance to them.
We believe that vulnerable and unprivileged families if not supported, they will greatly be devasted and this brings a long term negative impact on the lives of these children. The project will improve the living conditions of children, helping their families get more accurate information about COVID-19 prevention as well as helping children and their caregivers get counseling and learning materials from the Ministry of Education while at are home.
