Greeting from the Kitega Centre family, we have all the reasons to celebrate and be thankful for the gift of life.
The last few weeks the Centre has been busy.
The Centre children are excited to come and find a place where they are happy and safe.
Edwin and the patience washing the cups and plates after meals.
There is a high number of children on the waiting list, with a lot of hope to join the Centre and find a
new home for them.
The Centre children are encouraged to learn and get involved in so many activities at the Centre and this
is possible because of the devoted team members and social workers working hard to see the children
develop different skills and knowledge
The team was able to dialogue with parents of children to discuss issues affecting the learning capacity
of their children, the different meeting has produced new ways of working and supporting the children
while at the Centre.
Through games and play the children have been able to learn a lot of things while the Centre, the staff
was not left out too.

Voice of Hope – Linda Hopper
“Back at Kitega! I arrived at the beginning of June, after being delayed for three weeks because I needed
a replacement passport. It is difficult to believe that I am now over halfway through my time here!
As I look out from Shalom, the early morning mists drift around the eucalyptus trees. They are quite still
most of the time, but before a storm they bend with the strong winds and the shimmering leaves dance,
bringing beauty to the scene. There has been a lot of heavy rain and thunderstorms, for which the
people have been praying, hoping to get a good harvest from their gardens. The Staff VICOBA group has
a. project to bring an income by growing vegetables on an adjacent piece of land. Staff can be seen
working there in the early morning before beginning their day’s work.
There are many more trees now at the Centre; there are new buildings -the small craft shop has been
given an upper storey, which will become a coffee shop, the thatched roof recently finished. There is a
new kitchen offering more space for cooking and catering. The toilet block has been upgraded and a
small pavilion built on the field. There have been changes in the student population at the Centre. Some
students had to move to other places during the pandemic and they have not yet returned. There are a
few new faces and there are students waiting to join the Centre School
