Our after-school program is growing! From 10 to 21 students in just one year! ATF provides school supplies: in India, we purchase notebooks for everyone, study guides for students preparing for exams, and specific learning tools. And from Italy, a second computer has arrived for the students to use, along with lots of pens, colored pens, pencils, and markers. Scholarships and transportation: We have paid the second installment of scholarships to our four scholarship recipients. We also cover the monthly school bus fares for four other students (yes, the same bus that sometimes arrives late — see above! :) ).Food assistance: Since the end of July, we have been providing 25 kg of rice and additional food supplies to four people.

The Ebola virus has arrived in Isiro, the city where we support children and families. This is a serious and urgent emergency. The risk to children and adults is real: prevention is essential. TF has already taken action. We want to provide these essential supplies for approximately 3 months to the 250 families who attend the Gajen Centre.

A few days ago, we received four photographs that tell the story of everyday life there and of the work that Altuofianco is proud to support. Just four images, yet they represent the real impact of the support that provides food, medical care, and hope every single day. Every month, Altuofianco OdV contributes €300 to make these activities possible.
