Appeal for Support – Provision of School Uniforms and Scholastic Materials for Orphans and Vulnerable Children Fund
Warm greetings from Katumba Parents Humanist Nursery and Primary School in Bundibugyo District, Uganda. In our effort to provide quality education to all children, we have recognized the critical need to equip learners with essential scholastic materials and school uniforms. While tuition is important, these tools are equally vital for effective learning and success. Unfortunately, many of our students — particularly orphans and vulnerable children — lack these basics due to poverty and lack of family support. To address this, we are launching a Scholastic Fund aimed at supporting needy learners with the items they require to learn in comfort, maintain their dignity, and excel in their academics. We are kindly appealing for donations in kind or financial contributions to help us purchase these supplies.

These items are not luxuries — they are foundations for education. Without them, many children face ridicule, illness, or drop out altogether. A Call to Generosity We understand that supporting all items for every child may be challenging. However, as the saying goes, “One by one makes a bundle.” You may choose to support one specific item, one child, or contribute towards a general fund. Your contribution — whether large or small — will directly transform a child’s life. Each donor will receive a thank-you letter and a photo of the child(ren) they supported. Together, we can remove the barriers to education, restore hope, and give these children a chance to build a brighter future.
