Sustainable and key support for Kibagare Community

Greetings from St Martins school and the Kibagare community.

It has been an Okay few weeks since our last update, though the economic situation in the country and by extension the slum has not improved, and with the year coming to a close nothing much will change.

Children are home for a two-month holiday. This will have a significant impact on the families and children going back to the slum. As a school, we continue to do the much we can for the community here in the hope that the much we do will impact the children and their families positively.

Most of the households in the slum do not have a stable income though some guardians and women are into small businesses to help sustain themselves. The small businesses are not doing very well but at least they have something to do and the little they get is used to feed their families. Due to the challenges faced in doing small businesses, we are encouraging creativity and diversification of small businesses to help them stay afloat.

We continue to offer interventions for the community here and we still need support in terms of funding and ideas on how to uplift the lives of the people in this community. We have made it this far thanks to the support we have received and continue to receive and we are more than grateful..

We will continue to send regular updates on our progress.

Best regards,

Alfred Aswan

Greetings from St Martins school and the Kibagare community.

The last few months since the rains started have been good. There are certain parts of the country though where rains have not been very consistent. The expected harvest will not be that good.

For the community here in Kibagare, with little and no farming land. The food situation is still not very good. The most affected are families with no means to provide for themselves due to limited available opportunities and the harsh economic environment due to high inflation.

We have continued helping the families we have identified as very needy through the support of the community liaison person and through our continued community engagements and interventions.

27 more households were provided with food baskets from the funds we received. The baskets have enough food to last a family of 6 for two weeks. We will continue to support the community here. We count on your continued support to help us achieve our set objectives and help the families in need within this community.

We are also collecting data on the needs of this community to enable us to get credible information that will help come up with solutions that will be beneficial and sustainable for the people living within the Kibagare slum.

We appreciate the support received to date and will be sure to update you all on our progress.

Thank you,

Alfred Aswan.
