What's New

September 2021:

• Primary and secondary schools in Uganda will remain closed until vaccination rates increase, including for children 12 - 18. All teachers must be vaccinated too. Vaccine supplies are limited at this time.
• Ugandans don't have federal financial support programs, local food banks or social safety nets. Your donations continue to help our children and their families survive in a time of dire need.

August 2021:

• World Music & Dance event. This afternoon of singing, dancing, and music in the great outdoors was fun for all. Many new supporters joined our community.

July 2021:

• With Uganda back in lockdown due to rising COVID numbers, schools are closed and we are back to focusing on food deliveries and ensuring that students remain safe and with proper shelter at this time.

April 2021:

• Our Peer Education Kaborole program created this poster to support safe school reopenings. Peer educators will be distributing the poster in all classrooms and notice boards in schools that they are active in.
• St. Lawrence Secondary School students are being provided bursaries to help defray the cost of returning to school.

March 2020:

• Uganda, like many other countries, has been hit hard during the COVID pandemic. Food security has been threatened as livelihoods are in jeopardy due to restrictions on travel and loss of income. Food supplies are difficult to source and families do not have enough money to purchase what is needed.
