Improve and Uplift the Lives of HIV/AIDS Orphans, Eastern Uganda
Requested by
Nalubaale Children's Care CentreWho are you trying to help? What issue are you trying to address?
It is estimated that 90 percent of orphans in Uganda do not go to school because their single mothers normally cannot afford to send them to school. There are currently a large number of orphans especially in the eastern part of Uganda because people fled eastwards during the war. Eastern Uganda is also one of the areas in Uganda with the highest HIV/AIDS rate, thus adding to the number of orphans.
The Nalubaale Children’s Care Centre was established to help improve and uplift the lives of orphans and widows in eastern Uganda, offering hope to Ugandan AIDS orphans through education, healthcare and empowerment programs to enable a better future.
What is your project and how will it help?
Our project brings about change by helping HIV/AIDS orphans to conserve and develop their physical and mental strength through; Education, vocational training and improved living conditions as the surest way to ensure their viability to society. The organization also helps people living with HIV/AIDS, vulnerable adolescents, widows, and the youth. We aim to:
1. Grow sponsorship programs to help more AIDS orphans.
2. Provide sponsored students with academic and vocational training and monitor their progress.
3. Monitor and influence the welfare of the sponsored child through ongoing home assessment, access to healthcare, and health education.
4. Leverage the current Ugandan educational system by selecting qualified schools and supplementing their educational programs.
5. Improve self sufficiency through empowerment and life-skills training and resources.
6. Partner with like-minded organizations to provide services that support the mission of NCCC.
