Restoring hope to children through the Education for Life Project
Following the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe, the world is on its knees due to the frustrations that have come with it. Business owners have closed shops, employees have been laid off, places of worship have been deserted, families have separated and many have lost their lives. Due to the restrictions on social, political, cultural and religious gatherings, schools have not been exempted and this is all in bid to curb the spread of the virus.
On 18 March 2020, the president of Uganda ordered for the closure of primary, secondary, tertiary institutions and universities for more than 7 months. While restrictions for the resumption of studies for candidate students and finalists have been lifted, many children are still home and others have dropped out of school.
