Background
The education sector whose approach is to impact and shape school going children to be competitive with high standards to all academic levels, was greatly affected negatively by COVID 19 Pandemic in Uganda. Yet its potential to strengthen the country’s economic growth cannot be downplayed especially now when the need for professionals in different sectors is wanting. Empowering school going children with schools bursaries or sponsorship and scholastic aterials, forms a crucial strategy of strengthening our education system whose success depends on the support of CMO’S (Collective Management Organizations), Corporate Campanies, and Well-Wishers whose focus is on the bright future of our school going children. Platform for the Unprivileged - PLAFU a registered CBO identified the need to adopt projects for the marginslised population in the greater Kampala slum areas of Uganda. CLEAN UP DRIVE where we work with the communities to clean the environment.
