Talent Academy for 100 Young Ugandans Annually

We continue to say thank you for your continued support towards the health safety of our beneficiaries and staff, and the sustainability of the organization.

since we shifted priorities, you have indeed supported us enough to survive. However as the wave of the pandemic is now slowing down, we are starting to focus on the next steps after the Pandemic.

We are happy to report to you that we have finished setting the ground where our new programs will be taking place inline with the studio rooms we were talking about.

We shall keep you posted in the near future once this is achieved and the program has started, otherwise as of now, it is all we can say.

We have kept all our beneficiaries healthy and focused. Twelve of them have sat for their fianl Natioanl Exams at different levels and the rest have slowly started reporting back to school per the guidance of the Goverment.  

As Covid attacked us around the month of March, our objectives shifted and now our focus was on the lives of both the beneficiries and the staff of the organization. In this, we had three priority areas;

1. Health safety

2. Sustainability

3. Stakeholder engagement

We are now happy to report that shiftig our priorities to these three main objectives was the best decision we made this year. Being in the field of entertainment, when we were stopped from performances, our sustainability was uncertain. We quickly decided to start farming, thus growing crops like beans, groundnuts,  greens, sweet potatoes, cassava so that we atleast have enough food and sauce for the beneficiaries. I am happy to report that since August todate, we are harvesting and our beneficiaries are feeding well.

On the side of Health safety, through your support, we were able to stock enough safety chemicals like sanitizers, soap and we have been able to have constant supply of fruits which are reach in vitamins c like oranges, lemon, and garlic to balance the diet and also to keep the bodies of both staff and the beneficiaries strong to resist Covid. Constant information disermination to our beneficiaries, capacity building trainings have continued to be carried out, so that they keep aware that the disease still exists and it kills. 

On the stakeholder's engagement, we have kept our partners and all the stakeholders informed aboout our engagements, updating them on the prevailing situations. We made online performances to keep our beneficiaries health and active, and also to keep our clients not much stressed which could lead them into depression. We have shared the links of these online performances, just incase you missed them, you have a chance to watch Rockies perform. 

We were also able to release a New Tourism song, to boast the tourism sector of our country after this pandemic. It is titlled Nyange. It is a must watch, a master piece, you need to see this.

We thank you for your continued support and we hope to be with you on this Giving Tuesday, December 1, 2020 as you double your impact.
