Action for women, a volunteer organization, advocates for children orphaned by the HIV/AIDS rural Uganda. Your donations make this possible and they will get shelter and access to education $44,500 Every child has the right to an education, but without shelter, uniforms, needy and orphaned children are unable to attend school. This is a pressing issue in rural Uganda, where over 220,000 children have lost their parents due to HIV/AIDS epidermic. In Kasangati Village alone, there are more than 7
The orphans are facing a challenge of being conjested in a small homestead that accomodates a large number of them on a ratio of 40:1 in one room that leads to easy outbreak of diseases like flue and cough as once one falls ill its easy to b transimitted to another one since its airborne.There is also a problem of water as they fetch on wells in about 3.5km that makes them tired.
Construction of a bigger building will greatly diminish the need for orphans having to learn in inadequate buildings and also for standard measures like beds with mosquitoe nets to be provided. This will also encourage HIV/AIDS to attend school and give them more self-esteem, confidence and aspirations. The provision of piped water is also important as indeed will be a new dedicated water bore-hole. Improved sanitary toilet facilities will be further progress in the development of the homestead
Approximately 250 children will have access to a new building that not only has 10 rooms, but also electricity, an improved water supply, new toilet facilities and a learning environment more appropriate and conducive for learning. This will ensure higher attendance levels at the school and a more positive view towards the importance of education. The health of the children should improve - benefiting from all the new facilities including sanitary facilities for the girls.
