Hi Friends!
Happy August! We hope this email finds you healthy and well. This has been a difficult and unusual summer for many of us, yet we hope you're enjoying the sunshine and great outdoors as much as possible. In Uganda, we continue to face the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and uncertainties of the future - which makes your support more critical than ever before. As we navigate these new challenges, we want to THANK YOU for being part of the Action In Africa community.
The global health crisis forced us to respond to the food shortages, stay-at-home orders, and school closures that directly effected the community of Nakuwadde. At first we provided emergency Quarantine Kits to ensure that the most vulnerable families had life-saving supplies. As the community continues to adjust to this "new normal," we have expanded our focus to address the impact of school closures and recently developed distance-learning packets for our scholarship students. This comprehensive distance-learning program works directly with local school teachers to provide students with holistic academic and wellness content. Without this program, students in Uganda won't have the resources they need to stay healthy and academically engaged while at home.
