Caring for Vulnerable Children

RMF Funding Secures Food

RMF continued to provide financial support to the Precious Children’s Centre in Kawempe, Kampala, which takes care of orphans and vulnerable children. The funding from RMF is used to purchase food for the children. This has helped to keep more children in class and stabilize the center’s operations, contributing to the success of the school’s day-to-day activities.
The students received adequate instruction, as most of the key needs and requirements of the school were met. Both teaching and non-teaching staff were well-motivated, which ensured the smooth running of school activities.
The school administration has also continued to train and support this year’s primary seven candidates in order to ensure better results on the national exams.
