IN THIS FISCAL YEAR TEN CHILDREN UP STUDENTS WERE IN HIGHER LEVEL EDUCATION PROGRAMS. THREE OF THOSE STUDENTS HAVE GRADUATED AND ARE IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONS THIS YEAR. SIX STUDENTS ARE IN A LEVEL SECONDARY SCHOOL. THIRTY FIVE STUDENTS ARE IN O LEVEL SECONDARY SCHOOL. FROM JULY THROUGH DECEMBER 2021 THE UGANDAN STAFF ENGAGED OUR SECONDARY STUDENTS IN COUNSELING, ONLINE LESSONS AND GOVERNMENT WORKSHEETS TO KEEP THEM ENGAGED DURING COVID SCHOOL CLOSINGS. THREE STUDENTS DID NOT ENROLL AS BENEFICIARIES IN THE 2022 SCHOOL YEAR. THREE STUDENTS HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO TAKE THEIR PLACE. SIX NEW STUDENTS WERE SELECTED TO ENTER OUR PROGRAM AS SENIOR 1 STUDENTS. CHILDREN UP CHOOSES AN EQUAL NUMBER OF YOUNG MEN AND YOUNG WOMEN INTO OUR PROGRAM. THE DROPOUT RATE IN UGANDA HAS BEEN HIGH DURING THE COVID YEARS, AFFECTING TWO OF OUR STUDENTS. ALL OUR BENEFICIARIES WHO BEGAN OR CONTINUED THEIR EDUCATION IN 2022 ARE STILL STUDYING AS OF THE COMPLETION OF 2022 TERM 2. THERE HAS BEEN A VERY HIGH RATE OF TEENAGE PREGNANCY IN UGANDA DURING THE THREE YEARS OF COVID, WHICH AFFECTED ONE OF OUR STUDENTS. WE CREDIT OUR STAFF AND OUR PARENTS WITH ACTIVE MENTORING TO PROMOTE THE WELL-BEING OF OUR BENEFICIARIES AND FOCUS ON THEIR EDUCATION.
