The Opportunity fund will cover the cost of education and care for students, from the Primary level through Advanced High School level, who do not have the necessary funds to stay in school or pursue higher education. These costs include tuition fees, nutritious meals, school supplies, health care, among others.
At any given time, we have many students who are not being sponsored or are short on funds to cover their tuition. There is no system of public education in Uganda like we have here in the United States so tuition increases incurred as students pursue their education present an insurmountable barrier for them and their families. Any amount donated to the Opportunity Fund (one-time, monthly, or annually) is greatly appreciated and can help ensure that these students will continue to learn and grow to reach their potential.
“A child without education is like a bird without wings.” -Tibetan Proverb
