Hope Children’s Club (HCC) is to benefit from the new project named “NEZIKOKOLIMA.” This project has been initiated with the main aim of gathering information from the grass root level where the news writers for the press and journalist hardly reach. There is a lot of information that has been left out yet it might be of help to the rest of the world. This project will be funded by Citizen Journalism Africa (CJA) in partnership with BROSDI

In this project, children will have to share their ideas on themes generated by themselves with the help of their patron teachers. Among the themes are; HIV/AIDS, education, agriculture, children rights, stigma, property and land rights, sexual health and reproductive health rights, culture, environment, poverty, hygiene and sanitation and child abuse. Topics will be generated from the selected themes and the children will discuss and bring out their views which in the end will be posted
Kiwanuka Ben makes a point
This project will help children learn and be free to express themselves, learn how to share, build on their grammar and speech skills and also to build on their debating skills
Kiwanuka Ben of Busoga Secondary school is one of the members of Hope Children’s Club, when asked his view about the project, he said “this project will be good for us as a young generation in building our careers and also it will help us gain more skills especially in writing articles.” A lot is awaited as fruits from the project and indeed much will be.
Thanks to the Citizen Journalism Africa and BROSDI for the support to Hope Children’s Club
