Each year, many women die in childbirth in ONURA sub village Sudan. 99% of these deaths are due to lack of childbirth facilities and hemorrhage which is a common cause worldwide. Bleeding can be controlled in a clinic, but in ONURA sub village this is a dead sentence to mothers because there is no healthcare post.

Our aim is to provide traditional midwives a childbirth delivery bed to save lives in a local post where most births take place. This is also where most maternal deaths occur in ONURA sub village –well beyond the reach of hospitals and government health services.

Hope Ofiriha has granted a year scholarship to both Jolly Achol and Justine Okello to study at Rubaga primary school through Sudanese Refugee children sponsorship project in Uganda. We have 300 children in slums on outskirt of Kampala city on waiting list. They want to be at school but due to poverty they are staying home without education. In Uganda, it cost money to go to school.

ONURA sub village has one of the southern Sudan’s worst low rates of education at 99% – the statistic only include girls, and women, which means the illiteracy in the village is probably closer to 100%.

There are other serious problems in the village as well: alcoholism, malnutrition, and domestic abuse. A discussion of these issues would only lead to “the chicken or the egg” argument, but no one doubts that these problems fuel each other on a daily basis. The school I want to build will have 2 classrooms, and a toilet block. The classrooms will be basic but sufficient to ensure a proper learning environment: windows, a door, a long chalkboard, and wall space for the work. The Government of southern Sudan’s Ministry of education has agreed to pay the salaries for teachers and supply learning materials ongoing basis provided that HOPE Ofiriha sets up the structures.

It is because of these issues that I see education to be such an important factor in their lives. Anything I can do to give these children a better opportunity to learn, I will do, because giving them an education is like giving them the wings that could help them rise above the astoundingly difficult conditions in which they were born. If they can use their education to make intelligent, cautious decisions about their lives, not only can they save themselves, but they can also save others by informing them about the dangers that plague their villages.

The great football tournament in the world is kicking off today at 4 pm with host country opening against Mexico. We can’t wait. I only wish my team (England) was on slightly better form, but I’m still hopeful! There is also something we can do to create a lasting legacy that could see millions more kids receive an education.

South Africa President Jacob Zuma has just announced that he will hold a global leadership summit during the world Cup. The aim? Push leaders, football fans to give children a chance to go to school. Something not hard to support. So HopeOfiriha is teaming up with 1Goal, bringing together footballers and fans to give children the extra kick needed to go to school.

As the world turns its attention to Africa for the first time football World Cup held on its continent, let’s enjoy the game and help every child get a basic education.
