- Setting up & Supporting Child Support Groups (CSGs):
In each of the 11 parishes targeted by the project, a CSP of a minimum of 10 members have
been set up.
Eleven bicycles were also given out to the members of CSP to easy their transport and be
able to reach the children who need their support in the community.
- Supporting the Creation of Good Schools Program
We have continued providing support to schools in their efforts to creating “a
Good School”. Schools still under our support are five they include; Buhinga P.S,
Kyebambe Model P.S, Nyabukara P.S, Sts Peter and Paul, and Nyabukara Primary School.
