Programs:
• Health: In health we deal with HIV/AIDS and other related issues, SRHR and Management, Mental health, Sanitation and hygiene of individuals and community and any other issue related to public Health in community and school environment.
• Education: We are supporting children and youth to retain in schools through information giving, promoting positive discipline in schools/protection, helping them making sanitary pads and stopping stigma working upon the issues that lead to school dropouts. We also support those youth that are out of school with hands on skilling which help then to earn in.
• Economic Development: We see every challenge as an opportunity, and our Economic Development initiative helps Subir Africa Foundation (SAFO-Uganda) ensure that those we serve are better prepared to persevere in the unique situations they find themselves in. Through skills Development, sustainable agriculture, financial literacy and other environment friendly activities.
• Food Security and Nutrition support: We emphasize food and nutrition by supporting families with agricultural inputs and sustainable gardening to promote food presence and increased nutrition among the vulnerable families and malnourished children to build sustainable and resilient communities. We make sure that we don't harm the environment.
