Vulnerable/ Orphan's Education
With out education orphans have no future
Sot-uganda international realized that it was her duty to plug this gap in helping non-school going children access formal education through the provision of the stringent scholastic requirements necessary. Sot-uganda international does this by pursuing a double-pronged approach:
a) Cognizant that AIDS robes children of their parents, we trace the next of kin to them and place them there, so as to keep that unique semblance of parental attachment going. In the absence of these, we identify families with the capacity to absorb one or two extra souls, and then place them there. These families are expected to treat the orphans as though they are their own children, by providing them with whatever their families would: food, shelter, medical care, education, clothing, but above all, love without peripheral qualifications. Sot-uganda international now visits these homes twice every month to supervise and ascertain compliance to Sot-uganda’s minimum set standards.
b) To ease the burden of looking for
requisite materials necessary for schooling, we developed a primary
school with capacity for accommodating the educational needs of close to
500 children. MODERN JUNIOR SCHOOL runs from kindergarten to year four
of primary education, with intention to move up a class every year,
should resources for construction and sustainability of day-to-day
activities become available. The school is largely crippled by the
sporadic financial inflow, most of it from staff volunteers and a
handful of well-wishers. The challenge is now to curtail the spontaneity
associated with this facility, so that we can have sustainability and
thus, predictability in the programs. SOT-UGANDA INTERNATIONAL believes
that this is the only way we can keep our heads high and claim to be
doing anything in improving the plight of the parentless and the
suffering young Ugandans.
