6. Reconciling children with their families/relatives or foster families - To place a vulnerable child into a foster family and locate the true family for the street child.

We propose to implement our program through the mobilization of sponsors / Organizations, who will support an orphan and widow with $ 25 per month to cater for the basic education needs, clothing, treatment, food, shelter. And through grants and donations and local fundraisings, the entire program can be implemented.

We are targeting two hundred (200) widows and orphans in each district in Uganda if resources can allow.

The organization will determine its performance through monitoring and evaluation appraisals

Youths are involved in such a way that they form small groups that sensitize the local communities on AIDS/HIV and also discuss ways/methods of HIV/AIDS prevention. They are also involved in income generating activities.

Anticipated outcome

To remove the stigma in churches as well as in those infected with HIV/AIDS

To eradicate poverty that is created because of HIV/AIDS

People will develop self supportive motives

People will gain skills that in return will be their future career

Orphans will get basic education

To increase the life span of HIV/AIDS patients

And Christ will be promoted as the king In little more than a decade, we’ve learned a tremendous amount about HIV/AIDS. As research and education continue, they can only mean continuing progress in treatment, counseling, sensitization, prevention, progress that can save and prolong the lives and give valid reasons for at least some optimism about the devastating disease.

Identify and create awareness – together we can fight this, support us to reach out to the communities.
