Poverty Prevents Access to Education

The Kacereere community is extremely poor as they depend solely on agriculture and crafts for income. The school dropout rate is very high because the majority of the adult population is not educated, and their children cannot go to school due to lack of school fees and materials.

Supplies Help Children Attend School

The donation from Luena Foundation was used to provide students with their school fees and to help with food aid.
