Financial update
Above you can see where the money for our project in Uganda went in 2022. The project has become rapidly more expensive in recent years: partly because children cost more as they get older and go from primary to secondary school, but also because of inflation, high food prices in particular. For the year 2023 we are around 30.000 EUR short. We can pay part of it from our resereves, but if we don't get more funds soon, we will have to stop supporting part of the kids.

August 4 was the graduation ceremony of Mayen, our first student to graduate from university. Mayen studied law. He now hopes to be able to do the bar, so that he can actually act as a lawyer in court cases.
