COMMUNITY WELFARE

Uganda has a population of over 30,000,000. A population racked with AIDS. Tens of thousands die each year. For years it has been the worldwide epicentre of the AIDS epidemic.

The people recognise their future has to be through self-determination. They recognise the children of the country are its future. But their needs far outstrip what they can currently achieve alone. Their government is bringing in brave new initiatives but lacks so much of the infrastructure and resources to achieve its aims.

The orphans live with relatives in the community which is the preferred way for orphan children to have a home life. Often it is an aged grandmother who has no resources to care for the child or maintain their home. Thanks to the generosity of many of the orphan sponsors we are able to improve the basic living conditions of the orphans and their guardians.

Many provide beds and blankets, cooking utensils, pit latrines or even rebuild derelict homes. Many are seeking to help themselves but lack the initial resources to make the first step in self-determination.
