    Family Caregivers Association for the Aged Group (FCAAG) Verified non-profit organisation
    (Verified non-profit organisation)

    Family Caregivers Association for the Aged Group says: Dearest in the Lord!

    I hope this message finds you and your colleagues at Smart City Hostel doing well.

    Family Caregivers Association for the Aged Group (FCAAG) is a local NGO which was formed and registered with the National NGO Board in Uganda. We joined Global Hands as a member in 2008.

    FCAAG was formed with a sole aim to address the increasing needs of older persons and vulnerable children in Lira and Apac Districts, located in Northern Uganda. The people in Northern Uganda has been affected by the 23 year - old conflict between the Uganda Government Forces and the Rebels of the Lord Registance Army (LRA). The conflict have brought about death, human suffering and banderlised properties. The most affected people are the Aged, children and women.

    People have gone back to their respective localities without basic needs such as clothing, food items, medical care, beedings and educational kits.

    We are therefore, requesting your organisation to consider sending those mattresses to these group of people in our community.

    We shall be more than happy to hear from you soonest possible.

    Thank you,




    John Alfred Ejura
    Information & Networking Officer

    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.
