Update mid-June 2026

Jambo Happy Day family, we trust this finds you well.

We at Happy Day are doing well.

Learning is going on smoothly and the teaching staff is very committed to bring up  good future citizens of the world..

Our enrollment is now at 55 which is slightly above our usual intake. This is as a result of families with younger kids who accompany their older siblings to school..

We are currently providing two hot meals per day for five days. 

1. Porridge during mid morning break. ( we use millet and sorghum flour).

2. Lunch...

- We make rice and beans
- rice and green grams.
- ugali with cabbage.

This alternates from day to day.

This meals are a big advantage to us and of big importance to our kids because of the situations in most of their families. All our kids come from extremely poor backgrounds hence the importance of the meals we provide. We must sincerely appreciate all our friends and partners who make it possible. Asante Sana for your kind support and for helping us put a smile on a needy child's face. 

Almost three quarters of our kids don't own any uniform or school shoes and we would wish to provide for them the uniforms. Uniforms are a form of an equalizer and it also helps in identification ( especially now that cases of lost children are high). 

Below is an estimated price of uniforms.. 

BOYS

1. Grey trousers /shorts.... 350
2. White shirt.. 300
3. Brown cardigan.. 650
4. Black shoes.. 1000
5. Grey socks... 150.
TOTAL.. 2450

GIRLS.

1. Dress.. 500
2. Cardigan... 650
3. Shoes..1000
4. Socks... 150
TOTAL... 2300

We can buy one or two pairs every week or month until they are all in the same attire. We will really appreciate this and I know they too will feel on top of the world.

They also need school bags for carrying their learning materials and personal items.

And oooooh!!! This is a big THANK YOU for your support.. Every child received a toothbrush and toothpaste when we opened school!!! You should have seen the smiles on their faces! It felt so good to see the kids brighten their faces with a huge smile. We hope to do this at the beginning of every term ( if possible). This teaches personal hygiene and many families don't provide for the essential items. 

We are about to do our mid term exams which should be starting next week. This enables the teachers to know the strengths and skills of acquired by the learning. The exams costs 2200 inclusive of transport to and from the printers.

Due to the ebola and cholera outbreak fear that is currently under observation by the government, we will not take our kids for any extra curriculum activities. Precautionary measures are being taken by the government because of our porous borders where immigrants might sneak in unnoticed from Congo through the Uganda border point. Several cholera cases have been reported  nearby and so we are not taking any risks with our kids given that they all come from areas that are at high risks due to the shortage of water and exposed sewage system

We were thinking of taking them for a trip to Uhuru Park to enjoy a boat ride and many other games. This will have to wait until all is clear about the outbreaks. 

Again we say Asante Sana for all the help and assistance you all extend to us. 

We appreciate you very much.
