Kampala, Uganda
After more than a year of COVID-19 battering the world, the end of the pandemic seems no-where in sight. At least that is what the resurgence of the disease in many countries seems to suggest. As such, many Christian missionaries and aid organisations in Uganda have been forced to revise workplans to suit the 'new normal' within their operations.
Since its creation in 2001, Children in Need (CHIN), a community-based organisation located in Mukono district, central Uganda, has provided medication and education to hundreds of children and youth with disabilities within its neighbourhood.
The emergence of COVID-19, however, has conspired to cripple most of the services CHIN provides, especially during the Ugandan Government's lockdown, which took place from March to June, 2020, in a bid to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.
