OVER 60 children of prisoners living with HIV/AIDS are expected to get education after Wells of Hope Ministries, a charity, offered sh5.4m for the cause, reports Flavia Nakagwa.

The ministry’s coordinator, Francis Ssuubi, said the money would be contributed annually.

“We are offering inmates and their children who are living with HIV/AIDS psycho–social support and a boost in their nutrition. Although the need is great, we will use the little available resources,” Ssuubi noted.

Speaking on Sunday at a visit to Luzira Prison, Ssuubi said: “No one chooses where and when to be born. We need to render all the support to these children and their parents, because everybody deserves a second chance.”

At the same function, the Rev. James Robinnette donated 50 blankets and 1650kg of soya-rich foods to the prisoners.

“There is always light at the end of the tunnel. Trust God in all your endeavours he will surely see you through.”
