Background
HOPE FOR CHILDREN’S HEALTH FOUNDATION(HCHF) is a community Based Organization, NOT for profit operating in the Bunyoro region especially Hoima District, committed to addressing issues related to HIV/AIDS, Malaria, T.B and other infectious diseases among children, adolescents and their families through campaigns for preventive measures, treatment and vaccinations, advocating and protecting children and women’s rights through provision of prevention and multi-disciplinary intervention in investigation, information dissemination, and treatment of child sexual abuse victims in an environment that is child sensitive, supportive and violence free. HCHF also promotes general Health and Reproductive Health awareness and other services like Family Planning, HIV/AIDS and access to healthcare services among others.
Activity Implementation
Reaching out to poor rural community children with scholastic materials is one of the key activities of Hope for Children’s Health Foundation in Uganda. Children attending school in Rural Communities of Uganda especially in Kyangwali village face a great number of challenges like: inadequate materials to use at school, limited food, walking long distances, failure to pay school fees and limited clean and safe water resources, among others which hence leads to school drop outs. Besides education program, HCHFUG conducts home visits for malnourished beneficiaries and their families and supports them with nutrition supplements and counseling.
During this COVID-19 period we have faced challenges of reaching our beneficiaries through meetings since gatherings were prohibited and with limited resources we were able to conduct home visits for children and offered psychosocial support and delivered food to malnourished home. A total of 2 households were visited and 03 children visited.
Challenge
Limited funds to conduct follow up on our beneficiaries and their families even support them nutrition supplements. We have more 8 malnourished beneficiaries who need nutrition supplements.
Appreciation
We thank our donors and well-wishers for their support which make the organization projects a success and be blessed always.
