As quality education is virtually inaccessible to the poor, St.Ritah Women Development Association is working on developing a school to orphans for vulnerable children, while providing an affordable, quality education to the other children would initiate a profound change to the impoverished, ultimately catalyzing lasting benefit for generations to come. The school would provide access to low-cost quality education, and double as community hub for educational support services in impoverished areas; creating new opportunities for employment and literacy promotion.
Our approach:
St.Ritah Women Development Association has started a programme of supporting orphans and Vulnerable and children. Currently we are supporting 50 vulnerable children in accessing formal education in Bukonzo east, Bukonzo west and Kasese municipality. We offer them with scholarstic materials i.e. books, pens, mathematical sets, shoes, clothes/uniforms, beddings and other necessary materials. But our financial capacity is still limited to meet all requirements and therefore any coin donated counts a lot.
