Enhancing Rural Girls' Education and Wellbeing

Progress report for Hope for Children’s Health Foundation on Nutrition Support-28-12-2019

Background

Hope for Children’s Health Foundation is currently implementing Health and Education programs among the nationals in Kyangwali Subcounty and so far we have supported 30 orphaned children and adolescents to access better education in the surrounding primary schools by paying for them school fees and providing scholastic and sanitary materials and we have more 68 orphans and vulnerable children who need our support, currently we have reached 6 villages in Kyangwali and 15 more to go. Through a holistic approach we have been able to reach 43 care givers of these beneficiaries in our outreach programs and supported them with economic strengthening programs.

There is a target to reach 68 Orphans and Vulnerable children to be supported under the OVC program if we reached our fundraising goal through Global Giving.

Achievements

Hope for Children’s Health Foundation was able to implement a Nutrition program-providing food rations to severely malnourished children under this project, 3 beneficiaries were supported and are progressing very well and the relationship between the organization and community structures has made us achieve all these targets.

Gap/challenges

• There are currently 25 young people out of school who need to be supported with vocational skills trainings such that they can be self-employed and get income to sustain themselves and their families.

• We have 68 orphaned children who need to be provided with scholastic materials and have their school fees paid as well such that they can have access to better education. We have more 10 malnourished children who need support

Appreciation

On my behalf and that of my team we would like to thank our donors and well-wishers, Community development officers, local leaders, village health teams and expert clients, for their support during the project implementation and we are indeed grateful because we could not have reached this far without your support and also request you our donors, well-wishers, individuals who can help with supporting us start the vocational skills training program to our 25 young people who have finished Secondary education and they are staying home due to lack of school fees to have a better future, we hope there is need to empower and support them get the technical skills and be self-employed to create a difference in the lives of their families.
