Derrine Foundation brings happiness to the people of Karamoja


The Vicar General of Karamoja Rev Fr Paul Ngole applauded Derrine Foundation for showing love to the people of Karamoja through taking responsibility for providing basic needs to them.

 
A journey that was spearheaded by Derrick Mukiibi the founder of Derrine Foundation who patterned with Uganda Martyrs University heading to Karamoja in the northern part of Uganda which was the spot of interest. Derrine Foundation visited schools like St Michael Primary School, Kotido S.S.S, Kanyamole Girls Secondary School that were found in very critical conditions, Derrine Foundation raised awareness in girls about avoiding early marriages and staying in schools, they served scholastic materials to students like pens, books, mathematical sets, rulers etc. Together with sanitary towels to help the girls to improve sanity. 

Derrine foundation also had a community outreach engaging different communities like Panyangala and Nakapelimoru village known for having the largest population in East Africa, it was on a sad note that homes with a big number of children were noted to be in a very bad condition of failing to have what to eat and dress, homes were given clothes, toilet papers, soap, maize floor sanitary towels etc although Derrine Foundation has tried its best to provide basic needs to the people of Karamoja, they still need much help, said Makoba Mathesius a member of Derrine Foundation.



Derrine Foundation had a chance to sit and have a meeting with the General Secretary of education of Karamoja and shared ways and ideas on how to develop the education system of Karamoja where they got to identify that an increase in number of schools dropouts is caused by lack of finances to get for children materials to use for schooling and paying school fees hence asking for scholarships to help out students to accomplish their studies.
