Family in dire need. Two sons born blind and one both blind and deaf. Father currently on remand in prison after being arrested illegally collecting firewood in queen Elizabeth national park for the family to earn a living. Today morning the mother to these less privileged boys 43 and 39 years visited on our office heartbroken reporting and appealing for support after the only pit latrine they have been using was last week hit down by a strong wind. With alot of sympathy, we went with her to ascertain the magnitude of the challenge.

We found the situation so alarming that even when the boys were being guided to use the neighbor’s latrine, the distance and accessibility wasn’t friendly. The mother tried digging three fts, covered with timber and mud.
From the site, i have quickly mobilised a team of CHALAPI-UG ex-prisoners to come and dig a more standard one as i mobilise friends and people of will to support our efforts to see this family out of this inhumane and dire need.

Friends, Let’s support this family

Having long days and hours of work as a co-opted member on the district Ebola taskforce. Conducting community mobilisation and awareness on the standard operational procedures, leave home early and return very late.
Pray for strength and good health

Today 2nd June i received a special gift with humility from the hands of the Bishop of South Rwenzori Diocese recognizing my work. At surprise invitation during the Bishop’s high level diocesan management merting, bishop handled over to me a gift bag that i found nice fabric shirt. He also prayed a blessing for me, my family and CHALAPI-UG ministry.

Attending a district high-level stakeholders engagement meeting on the high alert of on going Ebola outbreak threat. There have been imported cases from our neighbours the Democratic Republic of Congo. There’s tension and we have agreed on intensifying community awareness on the provided ministry of health guidelines.
Join us in prayers as we fight to ensure no more spread. A number of more suspected cases already in isolation waiting for confirmed results.

Big health threat

Struggling with tragic climate change incidents of floods, mud/landslides and hailstorms. This week we have so far lost 8 lives including a painful one of a 8 months pregnant mother.
Thank God 15 have been rescued from flooding rivers and with Red cross society of Uganda kasese branch, i have been at the centre of planning emergency response and successfully rescued 9 victims and offered first aid. Tough days always on call.
Pray that the situation calms down and affected households finds solace in the Lord and support to cope in this difficult moments. Property and cross worth billions of money is lost.

Exciting News of the year worth celebration Glory be to God
CHALAPI-UG has secures 15 university degree scholarship to children of long term serving inmates and ex-prisoners to study in Algeria. The timely and critical scholarship is to benefit students who sat and passed science subjects at their advanced certificate of education between 2024 and 2025 but failed to pursue university education due to their vulnerability of parents being in prison or still copying with life after prison.
This humbling opportunity has been offered through the office of the army commander Brig. Gen Muhindo Mawa who hails from kasese and has been following and inspired by CHALAPI-UG program initiatives. The scholarship is a Uganda- Algeria Bilateral Cooperation in Education. After our several engagements following this huge funded scholarship based on criteria and eligibility, only 15 beneficiaries qualified after the interviews.

Your prayers for CHALAPI-UG will never be in vein.
Many many thanks.

So far 306 registered cases of women in conflict with the law, 55 already on trial remanded in prisons. Lawyers have committed to follow all these cases to conclusion as their contribution towards speeding up justice for women during March the month for women. Many thanks for the support that enabled teams move to the field registering cases, engaging state prosecutors, witnesses and other actors.

We have viewed the carpentry and other vocational skills equipment being auctioned by Action For Community Development. The organisation top leadership is encouraging us to identify all that CHALAPI-UG would require and then put a figure of amount of money we can offer so they can discuss at the opening of Bids. Most of the equipment are still very sound.
Our prayer that we can raise some money to at least pick some and not miss out on this opportunity to have our centre get more equipped to serve the community.
I have informed chairman and has asked that meet him at his country home on Monday for further discussions over the same.
Once again many thanks for every donation that has kept us reach out to our target beneficiaries.
Blessings!

Access to Justice for women during March the month for women- offering Pro-bono legal services
Following concerns over the growing number of female inmates on offences mainly linked to domestic violence and financial distress, there’s worsening congestion which is also undermining rehabilitation efforts. CHALAPI-UG has been requested by kasese female advocates to spearhead a campaign offering free legal services to women undergoing trial in the criminal justice system.
We are humbly and kindly appealing for any financial assistance to facilitate the legal team with fuel to support movements to prisons, courts and also support documentation during this period.
A cost worth uganda shillings 4.360.000 is estimated. The team is committed offering themselves registering cases and following to conclusion.
Join us on this yet another important activity. Feel free to share this to friends.
We can as well make it away to celebrate March through observance fostering greater awareness of woman’s rights that recognizes their contributions a cross sectors and call for actions to dismantle barriers to gender equality.
Look forward to hearing from you dear brethren.
Blessings!
