The Situation
Akanyijuka Children Homes is a holistic care development project which aims to assist and improve the lives of abandoned children of Kabale, Uganda and the surrounding villages.
The Objectives
- Care holistically for 50 vulnerable children by providing shelter, food, medical care and schooling to better enable the beneficiaries to participate in the wider community successfully and constructively – both in the present and into the future.
- Provide the children with a well-rounded education, using the Ugandan government developed curriculum and through overseas volunteers who train and improve the capacity of local teachers.
- Assist the local community to work towards self-sustainability through the development of a vegetable farm that provides both food for the students but also vocational training and work opportunities for adults in the wider community.
