Achievements:

• Treated 20 goats for 10 orphans
• provided 6 goats to 6 orphans
• Visited 24 households with orphans that received goat to ascertain the project progress

Challenges:

• The organization relies majorly on donor funds and each donor has priority areas for the funds donated.
• There is still low project cash inflow
• There are overwhelming number of OVCs that demand goats yet the breading is low
• Some of our target orphans are still at home due to CIVID 19. On those in candidate class are at school. Orphan girl children are exposed to early sex, pregnancies and marriage including defilement.
• Many orphans have returned in streets to secure survival through sale of minor items.

Recommendations:

KADO still requests all well-wishers to be part of us and give a helping hand for the support of Orphans and vulnerable children in Uganda. The number of orphans and vulnerable children is increasing and due to limited support and school dropout rate will be increased by the time the schools fully open.
