HART Charity Uganda

OUR SONG

Hart Charity Uganda is an NGO aiming at bringing both social and economical transformation in deep areas living in extreme poverty.

COVID 19 is defined as an illness caused by a novel Corona virus now called severe acute respiratory syndrome. On 28/07/2021 madam Margaret Twinomugisha the treasurer of Hart charity Uganda together with community mobilizer visited a local area called Kabingo Kamwenge district to educate people about covid 19.

Currently Uganda is facing covid 19 pandemic that has forced the government to lockdown the country for 42days. As an organization we have organised a team to reach out to people to inform the community about the dangers of covid 19.

It has been a success so far however much effort is needed. God willingly the organization will reach far to the targeted population by the end of August. We reached the village at 9:am to go to the local area we started by visiting local council offices for permission to access the people.

The permission was obtained and we were able to visit 25 families , this was through moving house to house and gathering them to one place and SOPs were observed as directed by ministry of health and president. It took us 7hrs to meet all those people. We thought local people about personal hygiene and cleanliness in the community , dangers of covid 19 and how they can protect them selves. later on we distributed soaps to help them in washing hands whenever they touch surfaces and bathing's.

FINDINGS AND OBSERVATIONS: -people are not well informed about covid 19 as a disease. People have neglected government directives on maintaining SOPs. -people need more help inform of food support since they are suffering from hunger. -people were happy to see us and who we educated them.

RECOMMENDATIONS : the team needs to be more equipped with tools to use in the field such as charts, temperature guns. -the team needs facilitation in the field such as fuel for transport. -the organization needs to put much effort and organise more work shops to equip the staff with knowledge of how to reach to people. Thanks very much . I remain Twinomugisha Margaret.
