Projects
01.
— Children's Food Program Friendship Village and Kasangalabi
Procuring food and medicine for the poor and marginalized is a big challenge for us and every little financial support helps the many fates. Despite all the hurdles, food programs are at the top of our list of projects. In my village, about 400 children receive bread rolls and bananas on Mondays and Fridays, and on Saturdays in another project, “Friendship Village”, 400 children also receive bread rolls and bananas. Then there are the children in Good Samaritan, so that we provide food to around 1,200 children every week.

— Monthly feeding program for 100 families with handicapped children in the district Mukono
In many parts of Africa, including Uganda, disability is a stigma that leads to exclusion from the community. That is why. Many people believe that disability is a curse. Anyone who gives birth to a disabled child here is completely on their own. No one will support them. The family and society suddenly distance themselves from you.
Information and education are the most sensible measures to break out of the cycle and therefore the only way to provide support. Through personal attention to affected families and persuasion in their social environment, we want to ensure that they are treated with respect and recognised as equal members of society.

— Good Samaritan Inclusive School
This school is one of the few inclusive schools in the 3,000 km2 Mukono district. Here, 50 disabled and 50 healthy children live and learn together.
The problem is that many parents of healthy children do not want their children to grow up and learn together with disabled children. A lot of work still needs to be done to ensure that the recognition of disabled children becomes the norm.
In addition to all the difficulties, parents of both healthy and disabled children have little opportunity to pay school fees.
What we are doing is helping to upgrade the school by providing financial support to ensure that food, clothing and medical care are provided and that teachers are well paid.We trust that step by step we will be able to give more children this opportunity.
