As of August 21, 2020 entry to schools in Kampala continue to be on hold and the people remain on "lockdown". This means food is not easy to get a hold of as moving from one place to another is hard in Kampala. The children from Namuwongo, who normally receive 2 meals a day at school - included in the school fees - are not presently getting those meals. 

As the children are not in school, and have not been since March, we, as an organization, have temporarily extended our mandate during the pandemic, to include providing funds to pay for food for our 42 families (20 children in the regular classroom and 22 sponsored children). We have already sent approximately $2000 for the purchase of food to feed our families. We will continue to support the families of our children!

We eagerly wait for news of the re-opening of the schools and when our children can get back to learning.
