Our motivation statement.

The National Strategic Programme Plan of Interventions (NSPPI 2011/12 – 2015/16) for disabled and Other Vulnerable Children (OVC) estimated that there are 2.4 million orphans in Uganda and 8.1 million children in need of external support. We anticipate that that number has risen over the past five years. Furthermore, Ugandan media is circulated with stories of desperate mothers who have dumped babies in latrines, bushes and other very unpleasant places. Such stories and statistics break our hearts and challenge us to do something. Kasese has a rapidly expanding population and one of the highest HIV rates in the country and also being among poverty and disaster-stricken areas. These two reasons make the rate of baby abandonment higher than in other regions, leaving an unmet need for family resettlement in the region. Through our interactions with Kasese Police station, Kasese district Probation office and Kagando Hospital, Kilembe Mines hospital, we came to learn that approximately 4 children need emergency protective care every week in the region. We also learned that police, the probation officer have many children cases related to children negligence.
