Child of Hope: Rising from the ashes

[Online PR for slum charity Child of Hope]

Another of our pupils and her family suffered an arson attack in February, totally destroying their mud hut home and all their belongings.
Thankfully, Rebecca (14) and her six family members managed to escape unharmed and our welfare team responded quickly to relocate the family to a safer place. Child of Hope is assisting with the cost of their new rented home, at 20,000 Ugandan shillings (around £5) a month.
The picture shows Rebecca and her sister with Charles (one of our social workers) in the remains of their home.
