Mission Statement
TO UNLEASH THE POTENTIAL OF CHILDREN AND EMPOWER THEM TO BECOME RESPONSIBLE FUTURE ADULTS, BY PROVIDING GSUPPORT IN EDUCATION AND BASIC NEEDS.
Description
Our main focus is the Orphans and Vulnerable Children whose parents died due to HIV/AIDS related diseases who have experienced many negative changes in their lives and suffered neglect which has led to a lot of impacts like emotional trauma and neglect. According to statistics, most of the Uganda orphans, approximately 98% live in rural areas with their host families, grandparents, or other relatives. Rural people are not well sensitized about the HIV/AIDS scourge. More emphasis is put on major cities and urban areas which leave rural people at a great risk of contracting HIV/AIDS leading to higher death rates of parents hence large numbers of orphans. Some orphaned children walk long distances to attend school while others are supporting themselves along with their younger brothers and sisters.
For starters we are providing shelter, sustainable education, and health care and social welfare facilities to 211 orphans and vulnerable children in Buwunga, but we do believe that we will continue to provide for more.
