faith childrens care uganda
"Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Mark 10:14
We currently have a database of 434 children in our organization that need regular monthly support. One of our intended goals with the children is to identify the orphans that are in great need and require immediate action. We seek out the community for the immediate relatives that are still living; it can be an Uncle, an Aunt, a Cousin... we evaluate the situation, find out what the relatives think is best for the child before any action is taken.
Together with the relative's input and taking in consideration the child's preference, we decide whether this child is able to live with the relative. Another option would be for a widow or suitable family that are willing to adopt a child. The child will re-locate to their home and they will then become the guardian and will be responsible for training/guiding the child.
Many times when a parent is sick and dying from AIDS/HIV, the oldest child becomes the parent. They are no longer able to go to school and must care for the dying parent as well as work and take care of the younger siblings. This in most cases is the standard for living in Uganda The next consideration deals with the childs education, and if the child should go back to formal education (which is normally the case with younger children and teenagers who were in school at the time of the death of the parents). Vocational training is offered for teen youths that are capable and enthusiastic about the program. please Contact Us +2560757215500
