Love in Action is a charity in Uganda offering education to young people in Kasaka and the surrounding villages.

70 staff are employed in Love in Action as Directors, Headteaches, teachers, social workers, boarding staff, cooks, book keepers, admin staff, farm workers, tailor and guards.

The charity is run by four Ugandan directors: Noah, Susan, Margaret and Godfrey.

The charity is funded by:

• The payment of school fees by families to cover some of the school running costs
• Income from our farm which produces many different foods for the school and to sell and achieves a good income from coffee production
• Donations from churches and other organisations
• Fundraising activities
• Individuals who provide regular donations to enable identified students to access school.

Would you consider providing a regular donation to our bursary fund to enable our social workers to allocate your donation to a child in need of support to access school.

Without the support of our donors, many families in the village would not be able to send their children to school.  We presently provide additional financial support for over 120 children through primary and secondary school out of a total of 480 students at the school.

Our bursary scheme provides finance to families in need through:

• Paying for school uniform
• Subsidising school fees (at different rates as required)
• Providing breakfast and lunch
• Enabling a child at risk from abuse to board safely at the school
• Provide facilities to a family to enable them to be self supporting (e.g. support to grow better crops on their plot, a chicken to provide eggs and manure)

Although we will not link you to an individual child, your donation will enable these children to attend school and complete their education.

We will provide you with regular updates on the bursary scheme and stories of the children who have benefitted.

Example:

Over the last 12 months

• 60 children have been helped with primary school uniforms
• 20 children have been helped with secondary school uniforms
• 120 children have received bursaries towards their school fees
• 22 children have been enabled to board to keep them free from harm
• 1 family has received intensive medical support for one of their children from our nurses
