This month’s grant profiles our only international District Grant in the 2025-26 Rotary year. RC of Sydney Sunrise partnered with African Initiatives for Change (AIC).Why this is a powerful project – Tuition is $7.00 per three-month term. This is a huge sum for families of children living in the Nakivale Refugee Camp in Uganda. A typical household is given $1US per month. This is what $3000 in District Grant funds and $9000 from Sydney Sunrise bought:
- Tuition fees paid for 65 children. AIC prioritized children of young mothers and victims of war rape
- School uniforms for the orphaned children (required for attendance)
- 50 new desks, manufactured locally
- Salary for an additional teacher’s salary
- A new chalkboard, and school supplies
- Remedial tutoring for children who lost school time during displacement and allowed them to catch up
- Outreach to attract fee-paying local families’ children, whose tuition will contribute to sustainability for the school
