There is a current Ebola outbreak in Ugnda of the Sudan ebolavirus. Over 130 people have been infected as of 28 October this year. Although the most affected district is Mubende, some few cases have now been reported among children in schools in Kampala. Therefore the MInistry of Education and Sports issued a circular over this weekend instructing schools across the country to restrict visits to school premises until the end of the school term, on 9 December 2022.

Here at Simoshi we continue to support schools in all of their cooking activities, and ensure safety first, allocating monitoring and maintenance work taking place mainly on weekends (Friday and Saturday) when day scholars go back home, to avoid unnecessary risks.
