You Can't Learn on an Empty Stomach

This January, Project Have Hope took over the children's breakfast program started by Project Yesu in 2014. Each morning, at 6:30, the two cooks, Dorine and Agnes, begin the two-hour process of preparing enough porridge to feed 200 children. Hovering over an open fire, the work is grueling, but when they see the hungry children line up with their plastic mugs to be filled, they can't help but smile.
For many of these children, they'd simply go to school without eating. As we continue the transition, we hope to double the number of children who are fed. Your donation of $25 will feed 25 children for a week.

Vaccination Clinics in the Acholi Quarter

Concerned that the rapid and sustained increase of Covid cases will exhaust the available bed space and oxygen supply in hospitals, the government has taken action and among other things, has closed schools. Through such mitigation efforts, Uganda has significantly controlled the spread of Covid-19. To date, there have been 122,212 reported cases in a country that has a population of over 47.4 million people.
But the government realizes that mitigation alone is not sufficient.
As the world battles Covid-19, Uganda has also stepped up its fight.
In addition to mask mandates, lockdown measures and curfews, the government is making mass vaccinations possible. Uganda has given approximately 1.44 million vaccines.
A recent vaccination clinic held in the Acholi Quarter provided the first vaccine dose to over 400 people. The second dose will be given in December. Although more vaccines need to be administered, making it readily available is an encouraging first.
