PROJECTS
PROJECT: Coloma Orphans
Rotaryclub Sittard has been sponsoring the education of a number of girls at Coloma Primary School near Mbarara in Uganda since 2010. In the Coloma Orphans Program 90 children have been sponsored so far, or have been sponsored if they have already completed the training.
​
​Anyone who wishes can, as an individual or as a company/organisation, sponsor one or more children. The sponsorship program is explicitly also open to participants from outside the Rotary, and more than half of the sponsors are now not members of a Rotary club. Each sponsor commits itself for 7 years, so that the child in question does not have to be expelled from school in the meantime because there is no more money. For the group that starts at the beginning of 2018, the fixed annual contribution is € 300 per year per child. This amount is fully tax deductible from taxable income.
​
Each year, the sponsor is informed of the child's progress. The sponsor will of course also receive a number of other basic information about 'his/her' child.
​
Rotaryclub Sittard maintains close contact with the school and in 2009, 2014 and 2020 members of the club and partners paid a visit. Also sponsors and other interested parties......
