Pupil to Pupil Aid Initiative
This initiative
is run by the children at the school and is directed at helping the
needy/disadvantaged children in their midst. The initiative benefits orphans,
the needy with special talents but can’t afford scholastic requirements like
books, uniforms, shoes etc. The initiative is currently benefiting 25 such
children.
Children
contribute 100 Uganda shillings every month towards a pool from which items
needed for the needy are bought. They also contribute items like books
pencil/pens, socks, a few go a long way to give in their used shoes and uniforms
to support their fellows. At the end of the month, children decide on which
pupils among the needy are to receive which items. However, if uniforms or shoes
are bought, a child receives one pair in a year. With support, the scheme would
reach all the 85 children identified as badly in needy, so far. It’s because
of lack of support that the children can only assist 25 currently.
