In Uganda, most people live from hand to mouth, with 20% of the people below the poverty line and 40% just above it. For our community, staying home makes it difficult to get necessities like soap, food, and salt. Public means of transport, including the boda boda (motorcycles), which are the main means of transport to rural areas, have been stopped. Fetching water is difficult, because it is often far away.

Most of our students live in rural areas and do not have access to the internet, meaning they cannot access schooling online. We are trying to gain access to books for them.

Even though we are very low on personal protective gear, our clinic continues to be open to the public. We are mainly using soap and water, because the antiseptics are very expensive. We have also set up a phone line for our beneficiaries to provide remote assistance.
