I am Fred Mwanje, Local Representative for the Zabef Community
I was born in the Mayuge District in Uganda one of the new district on Feb/ 2 /1972. I came to Jinja Walukuba in 1990 seeking employment. This was an industrial area in the past years. Many people came to this area seeking greener pastures. But then, in 1974, the collapse began (when a previous Ugandan president threw out Asian investors and the factories closed).
Many of the Children become Street kids, Orphans resorted to begging, and to sex work. Youth were
committing many sorts of crime. I decided to become involved because our younger generation is being wasted with AIDS and unemployment.

GIDCCO is an independent, indigenous, NGO registration Number certificate S.5914/7195 in the Government of Uganda, with a vision to rescue, nourish, and spiritually strengthen street kids, orphaned children, and widows in need as a result of AIDS/HIV.

Today, much of Uganda remains undeveloped. It's populace is ravaged by civil wars, hunger and the AIDS/HIV epidemic that continues its foray into every village.

Currently, 80% of the overall population of Uganda is youth, of the 80%, 39% are orphans, and 41% are infected with HIV/AIDS. 62% of the villages that we reach out to, have the highest population level of AIDS/HIV. Through Gods word and His will, we seek to bring hope and a future to this generation of parentless children.
Our organization for community development can have a great impact on the lives of the people it serves, given proper funding.
Even though we are a private charity organization, we are registered with the Ugandan government.
