COVID-19 Update

In keeping with ASAH’s mission to Protect, Educate, and Empower the ASAH girls, we are continuing to do so during the COVID-19 outbreak, which has also reached East Africa, including Uganda. As of July 18, Uganda had 1,029 cases, zero deaths, and 977 people have recovered. Uganda did a good job of closing down schools and other things to protect the people. The schools were closed. Our staff rented a bus and transported our students who have relatives in the refugee camps to their relatives and provided extra food for the families. Eighteen of our students have no relatives in Uganda. Those students are split up between the homes of our two staff and their families and the home of Joseph Akol Makeer, ASAH co-founder. The country may reopen schools in September if the cases continue to decline without surges.
