Our projects
Child Support Programs
• Orphan Nursery Schools: Currently we run seven Nursery Schools for the orphans and vulnerable children.
• School Uniforms Project: We provide school uniforms to orphans and vulnerable children attending schools.
Community Empowerment Programs
• Adult Education Project: Under this project we have established several Learning Centres for our Adult Education Project. Every center has an Adult Education Volunteer Teacher, mostly a female. We provide these women with writing materials such as books and pens. We provide charts and other learning materials. We teach them basic skills of writing and learning. We want to increase literacy level among women in rural villages.
• Women Empowerment Project: Under this project we identify women groups and provide training for the members and leaders of these groups. We provide training in order to strengthen these women groups so that the members can attain their intended goals. Specifically we provide training in the following topics; leadership and management where we ensure both group leaders and members acquire leadership skills to enable them manage their groups effectively hence giving better results. The second topic we deal with is conflict management. The third topic we train groups in is Resource Mobilization.
• Women Sports Project: Under this project we support 5 women teams doing sports. We support these teams with balls, games uniforms and First Aid Kits. These women mostly play women leg ball, Netball and Volleyball. Whenever they go to play any match, we provide them with transport and lunch.
• Youth Empowerment Project: Under this project we identify youths who have either dropped out of school or have completed primary or secondary education and provide them with opportunity to train in artisan. Some get trained in welding, masonry, carpentry, dressmaking, hairdressing, computer, and mechanics. We also support more youths who are doing farming. We provide them with seeds and fertilizers for their agricultural activities. We need funds to support more youths. We also support youths in sports. Currently we have 6 youth’s sports teams that we support by providing for balls, games, uniforms, transport and First Aid Kits.
