Support the Iganga Orphanage and Disabled Centre

Status: Stalled

The Iganga Orphanage and Disabled Centre (IODC) envisions our children living in a community that is socially and economically developed using the resources that are available to us. The most important issue in our village is helping those that have been orphaned, children with disabilities and those living on the streets to obtain education to better their lives and improve their standard of living.

In order to achieve this, we have set the following goals:

  • To provide basic education services to orphans, vulnerable needy and disabled children within and around the community.
  • Provide quality services in social support and community capacity building.
  • To network with Agencies/NGOs working with orphans, needy, vulnerable and children with disabilities among other for mutual benefits and referral support.
  • To improve on the general standard of the orphans, vulnerable, needy children through promoting income generating activities with skills to assist households where such children are living.
  • To promote children’s rights by preserving their legal rights.
  • To provide counseling services to orphans, Needy, Vulnerable, Disabled etc, with HIV/AIDs, families which lost their dear ones, youth both in schools and out of schools.
  • To set up orphanage recreation centre and a school in the community.
  • To train orphans, needy and vulnerable children, women, youth in environmental activities.
  • Set up income generating activities for orphans, youth, vulnerable children and others.
  • Provide technical services, training to the community volunteers, orphans, vulnerable children and youth in the field of HIV/AIDS prevention, human rights and other productive issues.
  • Provision of safe and clean water to children and communities to prevent the risks of water born disease and ensuring proper disposal of human wastes through educating and support.
  • Creating awareness to children and communities in matters concerning health issues like home hygiene, water source maintenance, environmental conservation, training members all preventive measures concerning health related problems in schools and communities.
  • Promotion of talent activities and art and craft to supplement other income generating activities.

At Nabuur, we hope that our volunteers will focus on helping the IODC meet the goals we have outlined.
