Sharing with Communities

Women & Youth Empowerment

Women & Youth Empowerment

Women faced a very big challenge of looking after their respective family welfare. The primary and continuing roles of feeding, educating, guiding and controlling children at home was heavier and squarely fell on women. Almost all families with children of school going age very much appreciated the work and role of teachers and schools in general. Children were home full time and it was an uphill task for responsible adults to control as one would expect.

Education

Education

Schools resumed late during the year, after closure in March the same year due to the pandemic. However, only candidate classes (Primary Seven, senior four and Senior six) were allowed in preparation for the UNEB (Uganda National Examination Board) examination- academic year 2020.

Immunization

Immunization

The District Health Teams continued within the available means, to supply HCs with vaccines and related cold chain equipment. We are grateful.

Mothers and other child care takers within the recommended pandemic control guidelines brought children for immunization. It was a challenge helping mothers to adjust and observe the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) especially during the first half of the lock down when masks and sanitizers were not readily available.
