OUR ACTIVITIES
The basic needs given to the elders include: foodstuffs, sugar, paraffin, salt and soap and these have helped the adults to pass through the month smoothly without starving for those basic needs. And this activity is done monthly where we always pay a visit to the elders every month and see how they are doing.
The foundation donates sanitary pads to over 500 needy teenage girls in different schools like Butebi Islamic Primary School, Nakibanga Primary school and Lulagala Primary school, to help them stay in school comfortably during their menstruation and safe from bacterial infection they were getting from using improper materials for padding themselves like , dirty cloths, papers and leaves and it led to some of them always miss out at school hence hindering the girl child education.
The children in the community are given school shoes and flip flops every school term since most of them were going to school bare footed, the foundation always gives these children shoes both schooling shoes and flip flops that are worn outside school.
Orphans & Child Sponsorship
We have been able to start a Preschool for Orphans with a temporary structure, with support from generous donors, which now provides free education to over 85 orphans and poor kids, and a teaching team of 5 teachers, We are looking at setting up a school which can provide education and a home for over 300 poor children, we have the land and a plan has been drafted only looking for funding
We have to always raise school supplies, meals for the kids and salaries for the teachers,
The Organization noticed that most of the children in the community lacked school supplies and for 4 years now we are donating school requirements to over 350 children from different needy schools in the community at every beginning of a school term, which include; Books, Pens, Pencils, Sets, Calculators, Reams and rulers to all the ongoing school children which has improved on their academic performances since they go to school well equipped with all the requirements and it has reduced on the number of absenteeism in schools.
