The Land Rover Uganda Club in Conjunction with Ride & Roast Road Trips were part of a charity Drive to Ngora school for the deaf http://globalchallengecharity.com/ngora-school-for-the-deaf/ on Saturday, 13th April 2019.

The Club provided Land Rovers to help with logistical support and transportation to and from Kumi of any of the items donated but also for some of the members who were travelling to Ngora for the day.

We also fundraised from our Club members, friends, partners and well-wishers to contribute whatever amount of financial help we could to be able to contribute to this cause. We also pledged to continuously support the school whenever possible.

Fun time with the children at school

Many such children at this point are abandoned or from humble families hence unable to afford the services and usually end up without recourse. The girls, in particular, miss classes or drop out of school due to lack of sanitary towels.

A brief background

One of only 3 specialized schools in Uganda providing nursery, primary & vocational training in tailoring & carpentry/ joinery to deaf children in Kumi Uganda.
Given the specialized skills required, it costs £250 (Ugx 1.1m) per annum to sponsor a child at the school.

The school does not turn down needy students but struggles through help from mainly foreign well-wishers to which end a few friends wish to stand up and help attract donations to give more hope to these underprivileged Deaf Ugandans.
