OUR VISION, MISSION AND VALUES.
OUR MISSION

OUR VISION
A society where all orphans and the other vulnerable children live to their full potential as their rights and aspirations are fully fulfilled.

WHAT WE DO
EDUCATION
Education plays a big role in the elimination of poverty in Uganda; it increases chances to a better life thus transforming lives of the orphans and vulnerable children. Before sponsorship, these children attend poor schools in the slums and others are school dropouts due to lack of school fees. After sponsorship, the children attain a good stable education at our partner boarding schools with all the basic school requirements.
SCHOOL REPORTS
A year has 3 school terms and the sponsor families receive Report cards of their sponsor children for a follow up on the performance and conduct. Our sponsorship program starts from Nursery to University level for those sponsors who would love to provide a complete education to the sponsor children for good employment opportunities.
ACTIVITIES
Practical and social skills play a big role in the children’s personal development through promotion of their skills and talents.
PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES
Our children take part in exciting cultural dances with colourful traditional costumes, traditional instrumentation and Original Western gospel and African songs. We have managed to realize our children’s potential, personalities and talents through Music, Dance, Drama, Chess, Art and Craft.
COMPUTER CLASSES
Help Africa imparts the children with computer skills in the use of internet and networking platforms, Ms-Word, PowerPoint, Excel and typing to create problem solvers who can compete in the job market after education.
