Rev. Kiyimba Joseph says: Dear Friend,
HOW CAN WE BENEFIT FROM YOUR OFFER?
ABA Foundation is a Non-Profit Organization registered under the laws of Uganda. The Foundation's objective is to promote the Socio-Economic Welfare of our vulnerable communities especially the disaster affected people, destitute children, Orphans, widows, widowers, elderly, refugees, disabled, people in war torn Northern Uganda staying in Internally Displaced Camps and poor families affected by HIV / AIDS. We provide them with disaster relief, material support in form of clothing, mattresses, blankets, food aid, clean water, medication, toilets, shelter among others. We offer scholastic materials to school going children such as books, pens, pencils, tuition fees, sanitary pads, shoes, school bags etc. We run Technical and Vocational Training Centers to equip refugees and other vulnerable groups with life development skills to enable them earn a living. Recent research indicated that 98% of refugees and people in internally displaced camps engage in open sex for money which has led to an increase in HIV / AIDS scourge. These Technical and Vocational Training Centers are meant to empower them, fight poverty and combat the spread of HIV / AIDS. We operate Mobile Clinics, Home Care Bay and Rehabilitation Homes. We do Training and Counseling. We Sensitize communities against HIV / AIDS, we also sensitize communities on development programs to fight house hold poverty and promotion of income generating projects.
