Mission Statement

Empower and Care Organization (EACO) was founded in 2004 at the community level and was registered as a Community Based Organization (CBO) in 2006 (registration number MG/2006/10/294). EACO was established to address the limited educational and economic opportunities that exist for vulnerable groups of women and children in Mukono County. EACO's vision is that, by implementing activities that provide these opportunities, it will contribute to the reduction of poverty and HIV/AIDS in the Mukono community.

Accordingly, EACO's mission is to reduce poverty and HIV/AIDS in and around Mukono County through the creation of economic empowerment and educational opportunities for disadvantaged groups of people. EACO's activities are targeted toward vulnerable women, particularly widows and those living with HIV/AIDS, as well as vulnerable children, youth, and the elderly.

Description

EACO is registered as a Community Based Development Organization (CBDO) with a mission to create an enabling environment for the disadvantaged groups of people through economic empowerment and creation of education support systems in order to reduce poverty, HIV/AIDS and Injustice cases in Uganda The major target of EACO are the single young vulnerable mothers, helpless widows with orphans who are victims due to wars, HIV/AIDS scourge and school drop outs girl children who may end up in prostitution. These marginalized groups of women have been sexually abused and a lot of young women forced labour. The economic base of these marginalized is subsistence hence criminal related sources of income.

Am likely to recommend a friend to this organization due to the following views, personally i love helping the sick, needy and associating with all kinds of people.This organization connects people,it promotes unity among people and it supports the needy. Secondly this organization fights the act of discrimination among people and it encourages the sick this is through counseling,educating people.This organization fights poverty among people and it promotes peoples rights example children rights,women rights.This organization donates to the poor and it creates employment to the youths and so many other people thus peoples living.This organization reduces on the spread of HIV AIDS among people and it preaches to people to forgive and to live a hopeful life. it strengthens the widow,women,children and those infected with HIV AIDS. This organization saves peoples lives.
