LIVING CONDITIONS OF THE KIDS

Education.png

Education

All registered primary and secondary age children are attending schools but your help is needed to ensure all the children continue going to school.

Health

Diseases cause a significant threat to the needy children. AIDS is lying cause of much of the orphans across Africa. Education programs are having a positive impact on the rate of HIV infection. This Education reinforces the need for preventative health in response to the threat of vector-born-diseases such as Malaria and Transmittable diseases like HIV/AIDS.    

Accommodation

Nutrition 

Muga children live in very poor condition. Most of the children do not sleep in a bed at night. Some children sleep on mats, while others sleep directly on the floor. Provision of mattresses, beds, and bedding will significantly improve the living conditions.

Muga Child Outreach beneficiaries are subject to near universal poverty conditions. Despite being preventable through adequate nutrition, conditions including Kwashiorkor and stunted growth are highly prevalent. Very few of the needy children under care of Muga Child Outreach can afford to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.   

Poverty

All Muga children are living significantly below below the poverty line as well as malnutrition. Some children have to sell labor(work) to buy scholastic materials. This can cause constant absenteeism and eventually they can not keep pace with the school work. Typically they dropout of school or have to repeat the grade.
