Imagine collecting drinking water from a watering hole where cattle have just been drinking. Now imagine you are a young child and you have to carry a 4 gallon Geri can full of water for miles. Life is not easy for a child in Uganda.
Cove Alliance is a NFP that is helping the orphaned and disadvantaged children of Uganda. So far we have opened a clinic to provide medical care where there has been none before. We have also been able to provide a primary school campus for children in the area. There is still a need for one more dormitory for the boarding students.
We are in need of someone to help our Communications Coordinator with the various COMMUNICATION activities within COVE Alliance. You can work from home so if you have a few spare hours please think of helping the children in COVE.

Mission Statement
COVE Alliance is a charitable organization serving the orphaned and disadvantaged children of Uganda. Our mission is to provide social services such as shelter, food, healthcare and education in a Christian atmosphere that fosters love and shared responsibilities. Healthcare, education and vocational training will focus on breaking the cycle of poverty and preparing the children to sustain themselves and their families in the future.
Description
COVE Alliance was founded in April 2005. We received our 501c3 in Dec. of 2006. Our mission in the U.S. is to raise funds to support the projects in Uganda.
Our first project was to set up a sponsorship program and we now have over 166 sponsored children. Part of the sponsorship program includes providing healthcare for the children. Because there was no access to health care in the Kapeeka area we built a clinic that now services the needs of not only our students but also the community.
In Feb. 2010 the first two grades of the primary school opened. The Sue Gaubatz building was completed in 2011. It houses grades 3-4-5 and the adm. offices. Construction is now underway on a kitchen that will be used to provide meals for the children. The long range plans call for a Vocational School. Learning a skill will prepare the students to get a job and provide for their families.
