The HIV/AIDS and other diseases have left many children without parents or one of them in Kyangwali Village in Hoima & Kikuube districts. Many Families are headed by elderly grandparents and young people. It is also a common thing to find orphaned children living with HIV/AIDS, having acquired it from their parents during delivery.
Hope for Children’s Health Foundation previously conducted a needs assessment and decided to start up an education program for the young girls and give them a bright future. The survey discovered the following were most pressing needs of orphans and vulnerable children;
• Education especially for basic and vocational education.
• Life skill and counselling for orphans.
• Capacity to meet the basic needs of the orphans.
• Capacity building for the caregivers to take care of the HIV positive children.
The primary aim of the project is to assist orphans and other vulnerable children realize their full potential through strengthening the capacity of the local institutions and structures to be able to respond effectively to the socio-economic impact of HIV/AIDS through education and good health service delivery.
