*GABA HOPE FOR KIDS (GAHOK)*
*Theme: YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS*
*Date: August 27, 2026 | Gaba & Wakiso, Uganda*

*1. Why Your Support Matters*
In Gaba slum, 208 children depend on your support to eat, learn, and stay healthy. Many are total orphans, living with HIV, or from very poor teen mothers. Without you, they have no school, no food, no hope. Your $1 is their book, your $25 is their month in school.

*2. What Your Support Has Done (May-Aug 2026)*
- Kept 208 children in school Nursery to P.5 (98 girls, 110 boys)
- Provided 2 meals daily + clean boiled water - 0% dropout this term
- Gave 150 books, 200 pens, 50 uniforms, 100 shoes
- Facilitated 50 home visits to protect vulnerable children
- Dewormed 120 children and trained them in hygiene and menstrual health
- Improved grades for 15 children from Division U to Division 2/3

*3. Proof Your Support Works*
- Zero dropouts vs 20% last year
- 98 girls retained in school
- 30 children on waiting list - community trusts us
- Children now read, write, dream of being doctors and teachers

*4. Why We Still Need You*
- No permanent classrooms - we learn in leaking iron sheets
- No toilets - our 208 children use bush and neighbour's latrine
- No CBC textbooks, no library, no computers
- Only 2 qualified teachers
- No fence after insecurity in Gaba
- 100% donor dependent - if support stops, school stops.

*6. Next Plan With Your Support*
- Build 3 toilets urgently
- Build 2 permanent classrooms
- Recruit 3 teachers
- Buy CBC books
- Start sweater & soap project for mothers
- Enroll 50 more children from waiting list

*YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS* - You are not just giving money, you are giving education, food, health, and future to a child who had none.
