Changing Life In Community Schools and a Better Future….
Charis Uganda focuses more on economic empowerment (women and the youth), basic education and literacy, sanitation and hygiene (schools and local people) and maternal and child health through empowering and encouraging younger mothers.
Great progress has been made in regards to supplying sanitary pad kits to many teenage girls at local schools. This has been life changing as it allows these girls the opportunity to stay in school during that time of the month, thus increasing their knowledge and future possibilities. Work is now underway to set up to produce the making of the sanitary pads in Uganda, which will create local employment and career opportunities. Since a project like this requires additional capital above the regular day to day operations, Charis is seeking to partner with individuals and/or companies, to make this project reality. Financial sponsorship for this program is greatly needed.
Children Sponsorship program
Some people have the food, but have no appetite; others have the appetite, but no food, to us with both, we should be thankful to the Almighty and be mindful of the needs of the others. That is why Charis Global Community Aid, think about the “African child”.
Growing up without anyone caring about you is one of the hardest things that some children suffer emotionally, psychologically, spiritually and physically. What such children go through is a lot and what they need is “PARENTING THEM”. They need to be loved and cared for, and that is what Charis Global Community Aid does. We love, care, give a second chance and receive the innocent/rejected souls.
In our child sponsorship program, most of the children that come into the program, have a high percentage of being school drop outs. Our role as Charis Global Community Aid is to give them a new hope and an opportunity to attend school. Charis offers an “hand up” approach where the student can receive an education, plus a chance of a better life.
Many young girls in Uganda are forced into early marriages due to poverty and traditional cultures in some parts of the country. We discourage early marriage and early sexual engagements by carrying out guidance and counseling, taking them to schools and giving the career guidance and sexuality education.
Most of our sponsored children/students are orphans, others come from child headed families, poor back grounds, and some are from the streets that we take in. It makes us so happy seeing these children changing into better people. We thank all our partners, ‘’the good Samaritans’’ for adopting these children and for giving them a new life.
In different parts of Uganda, there are children who are hopeless, who do not have any one to care for them, We humbly invite you to join us and give a new hope to an African child. The children that we adopt, we are responsible for all their basic needs, school fees, moral and spiritual support. Financial sponsorship for the above programs is greatly needed.
Community Empowerment
We empower the community through modern farming; we train women and youths modern farming skills and boost them with garden supplies and domestic animals such as pigs, goats and chicken. A person whose interest is rearing pigs returns two piglets and for the goat, returns two kids which we give to other people.
This project has helped very many people, the single mothers are able to look after their families, the grandparents who are struggling to raise their grand children have benefited and the youth have also developed. Hence eradicating poverty.
Lwengo District has benefited a lot from this project and it will continue even in different parts of Uganda. Through this program, sanitation and hygiene has been improved because every family we visit, we train them how to improve on their sanitation and hygiene.
Every year we donate garden supplies to individuals, women’s groups and youth groups. This has really worked for the people of Uganda in Lwengo District, any donation made will highly be appreciated. Thank you for joining Charis Global community Aid to change life In Uganda.
