The prevalence of Coronavirus is spreading across Africa. Although Coronavirus is in its early stages in Uganda, all flights have been cancelled in and out of Entebbe, and Ugandan citizens have been told to stay at home. Sky Is The Limit Children’s Centre and School is vulnerable as it has limited resources and a high number of children are living with HIV/AIDS.
Sky is the Limit not only provides a good quality Primary education to 370 disadvantaged children in rural Fort Portal, but it also provides a safe and loving home at Noah’s Ark, Director Rose Mugenyi’s home, for 30 children, orphaned because of HIV/Aids.
These children need to be kept safe from Coronavirus. If they were to become infected with the COVID-19 strain, they would be at great risk as their immune systems are too compromised to fight illness the way healthy people can. Sky Is The Limit is in a very rural area, and it can be difficult to go out and buy provisions, especially in heavy rains. With you, we can make sure that they have enough food and hygiene products stored in case they go on lockdown. We need to make sure that Sky Is The Limit has enough food, soap and disinfectant so that they can survive.
Over the years, you’ve made it possible for the school to flourish. Because of you, we’ve built three new classrooms, a kitchen and dining hall, and provided school equipment. You have helped to provide a daily meal for each child ever since 2014. But most importantly, you have given these children hope and a chance to have a better, brighter future.
At Ecologia, we are adapting to this uncertain time and rising to the challenge of continuing the fight for a world without poverty. But we need your help to achieve this, now more than ever.
It is uncertain time for us all. But you will be a life-saving hero to these children if you donate what you can today.
£5 will ensure that one child at Sky Is The Limit will have enough food for 1 month.
£1 will give 5 children a bar of soap to last them 1 month
Please, help us to give them the nutrition they need to fight illness. To give them soap and the ability to stay clean and stay safe and stop the spread of Coronavirus in Uganda.
