The Problem

Kitega community is a rural community in Uganda, in the Pearl of Africa,Poverty is the order of the day in this area and in particular the entire country. Children suffer most, without the necessities to life. This club is working hand in hand with Kitega community centre an NGO based in Uganda to help improve the lives of the disadvantaged groups in society therby contributing to ending global suffering. The community is characterized by poverty, high level of child negligence, illiteracy and ignorance, disease and above all poor health conditions.

Plan of Action

We are trying to raise funds and get sponsors for the children so that they can meet their costs in School. With the limited resources we are convincing the school administration to allow the children study for the mean time as we work out funding and sponsorship. Parents are responding, when we talk to them and let them know the impact of education. This club will continue to raise awareness about the project and do fundraising for necessities like books, pencils ,pens to be sent to Uganda. We are also devising means of fund raising to construct a better toilet/latrine facility, the one in place is very bad, it is just a hole dug and flooded with house flies, unfortunately children enter here without shoes. We are also going to work out a way of getting shoes for the children, in addition get a way of fighting the jiggers in the area that are threatening the lives of Children. Lastly, we are to raise funds and help start up a small micro-credit systems to give to the parents so that they can help themselves out of [poverty and sustain themselves
