COVID-19 LATEST UPDATE | 24th March 2020

The schools in Uganda closed on Friday 20^th March, with all children being sent home. This means that St Paul’s School in Rukungiri has closed until the crisis has passed, and the Komamboga children have all returned to their families.

In Uganda we are doing our best to support our Partners and the vulnerable children on our projects.

In Ethiopia, we continue to be in contact with Beletew Mengesha, from Voice in the Wilderness Development Organisation, to support and encourage him.

CPA is extremely concerned about the situation. To find out how we are responding to the current crisis, both in Africa and in the UK, click here to read the full letter to our supporters.

CPA is a Lincoln based charity that has worked with African partners for 23 years, supporting and encouraging children and young people in poverty, and poor communities in Africa. Our current projects include St Paul’s Nursery and Primary School in Uganda, Komamboga Children, and we have recently completed building classrooms at Komame Senior School in the Afar, Ethiopia.

Sadly, we have been contacted by Beletew Mengesha, our partner in Ethiopia, who has told us that the pandemic is starting to take hold there. On 5th August the country registered 768 cases and the country’s Health Minister has said that he expects this to increase significantly over the coming months.

Like Uganda, Ethiopia is not in a position to provide the kind of support we have managed to provide in the UK for our citizens and health service. There is a shortage of suitable PPE in many clinics and hospitals and a lack of awareness among much of the population. Many people are also struggling to earn an income at this time.

For the last few weeks we have been working with Beletew to decide how best we can respond to this situation and we thought you might like to hear about it. Click in the link in the bio to find out more.

Jehovah Shalom, Lord of Peace, we pray for those currently living in isolation and fear. May they know your presence in their isolation, your peace in their turmoil, and your patience in their waiting. Prince of Peace, you are powerful and merciful.

In these unprecedented times in which we are living, feel free to use this short update to help you pray for our friends in Africa.

Received this week from our friend Beletew in Ethiopia. “Dear Paul, I thank you so much for your concern that you show and prayer for us. Since last week our government announced to close all offices including NGO’s and we closed the head office and the whole projects like girls boarding, KG and even the disability centre because of that I was out of office. Also, Ethiopian government doesn’t allow to live in a group, and the government said the whole Universities were closed. The current information of the government, there are 29 people affected by coronavirus. Our PM predicted the next three weeks Ethiopia will face very bad situation even some private company like hotel owners and even the church buildings are dedicated to use as hospitals so when we see all these preparations, we are very scared.

Paul please let’s keep our communication and prayer and please passes my greeting to all my friends in UK. Let God protect all of us. Yours in Christ, Beletew M”

Some news from Uganda. “Stringent measures employed to stop spread of the coronavirus, means millions of people are out of jobs.

Officials in Uganda have donated food to vulnerable people living in the metropolitan area of Kampala during the lockdown.

Please continue to pray for the Komamboga children and their families in lockdown in Kampala.
Please pray for the children, guardians, project workers and social workers in Rukungiri.
May El Shaddai, the Lord God Almighty, who loves us, protect us and our African friends.

May Jesus Christ His Son, who died for us, save us.

May the Holy Spirit, who broods over the chaos and fills us with his presence, intercede for us and in us, for others at this time.

Amen.
Thanks for praying with us

Jehovah Shalom, Lord of Peace, we pray for those currently living in isolation and fear. May they know your presence in their isolation, your peace in their turmoil, and your patience in their waiting. Prince of Peace, you are powerful and merciful.

In these unprecedented times in which we are living, feel free to use this short update to help you pray for our friends in Africa. As well as the much bigger picture going on across the continent of Africa, please see the latest statistics for two countries CPA is currently active in. (as of Tuesday 31st March)

Uganda currently has 33 active cases of the Covid-19 corona virus with no deaths.

Ethiopia has 23 cases with 1 recovered and no deaths. 💟 Good decisive, wise and mindful leadership is required at a time like this, pray for
1. Sahle-Work Zewde President of Ethiopia and his government
2. President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda and his government 💟 Please also lift to the Lord the children from Komamboga who are now living with their respective families and guardians in lockdown in Uganda. Pray for their wellbeing and peace while away from school and isolated from friends. 💟 The children at St Paul’s School, Rukungiri are also at home from school. Please pray for their ability to cope with the bewilderment of not really knowing what’s going on and the pressure this can bring to bear on the families and guardians. Pray also for adequate food to sustain them all during this challenging time. 💟Pray for our project workers working on the ground to help and support all on our projects.

May El Shaddai, the Lord God Almighty, who loves us, protect us and our African friends.
May Jesus Christ His Son, who died for us, save us.
May the Holy Spirit, who broods over the chaos and fills us with his presence, intercede for us and in us, for others at this time.
Amen.

🔙🔙 #throwbackthursday to to that time a smok

🔙🔙 #throwbackthursday to to that time a smoke detector system was also installed at Komamboga Children's Home. 🔙🔙 Julius, the Home Director, gathered the children and explained how it worked and that they would have their first fire practice that week.

It wasn't quite as he explained, in fact, what actually happened was so funny!! Murray writes: “Alistair and I were tasked with installing smoke detectors around the home. Julius gathered the children together and we explained about the smoke detectors and talked about what to do if there ever was a fire at the home.

It was explained that no one should run, scream, shout or take any belongings with them, but just leave the building calmly and gather in the agreed area.

Everyone went to their rooms waiting for the alarm. When it went off I can only describe what I saw as absolute pandemonium! The children burst out screaming and sprinting to the exits.

The boys came running from their block with what I can only presume were the entire contents of their room loaded into suitcases and backpacks, some so heavy they actually fell over trying to run with them!

We encouraged them all, telling them they had done a great job, but suggested that maybe a few more practices would be a good idea!” [[ 📷Fun and laughter at Komamboga Children's Home ]] #cpafrica #change #nonprofit #dogood #charity #socialgood #lovepeoplelovelife #4charity #notforprofit #thankfulthursday #thankful #cpauganda #uganda #tbt #tbthursday #cpafrica #change #nonprofit #dogood #charity #socialgood #lovepeoplelovelife #notforprofit #thankful #cpauganda #uganda #positive #happiness #workingtogether
