Bishop Serverus Jjumba from Caritas Uganda told young people they need to stop having kids they can't take care of because vulnerable children keep flooding in asking for help. He dropped this at a fundraising dinner at Hotel Africana in Kampala, where organizers wanted 200 million shillings for disadvantaged kids to get basic education. The event pulled in over 90 million between cash and pledges.
Jjumba said Caritas offices get hammered daily with requests for school fees, medical bills, food, clothes, and mental health support. One out of every four Ugandan kids isn't even in school because families are broke or dealing with constant emergencies. Dr Benon Sekamatte backed the mission and said both girls and boys need attention, and parents had better step up when they decide to have children.
