However. the plans for r#)s$ible reductions in financial support have been generated and shared wilh stakeholders in Soroti. which be needed if future deficits in the budget are hjentified. New School The ¢lwrity has been sieadity working towards the development of a new school to $upwrt th8 charity's aim to advance education.
