Background of the Project

BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT

Kigezi Home of Orphans Project is a community based project operating in Kanungu District. It is registered as a community based organization under Registration Number 519/12.

The major aim of  the project  include  providing  Vocational Training, educating  Orphans on the dangers of HIV/AIDS, encouraging  self reliance to  the Orphans  and develop  Orphans economically, socially  and religiously.

In Uganda  and Africa in General  Orphans and Vulnerable  Children  are always  neglected and considered  to be misfits within the community  and also  their  areas of origin. This is because they are pressured to be failures in the future as they do not have hope and encouragement in whatever they will be doing.

Most of the Orphans  and the  Vulnerable children do not  have accommodation meals, and other basic  needs to  enable them have the  best standards of living  and also  become comfortable in whatever they are doing.

Because of lack of hope and encouragement most Orphans have resorted to petty jobs such as house boys, shamba boys for the males.
The girls have become house girls and also married off at younger age.

Most of the Orphans have become rare and disorderly which has made boys to engage in Drug abuse such as smoking marijuana, opium and other  gambling activities.

The females have resorted to prostitution leading to unwanted pregnancies and the wide spread of other sexually transmitted diseases.

Because the orphans  and vulnerable  children  do not have  homes of their  own, they  have been forced to  become  street children  which has  made them  to be  threats to the  community  and also  in the areas they are staying in.

This has been because they do a lot of crime such as murder, robbery and hijacking all the people in the community by doing terrorism activities.

Most  Orphans and vulnerable children have not  been able  to get  quality  and  good  education  as they can not afford  school fees and  other  scholastic  materials. This has led to a high rate of school drop out and there by leading  to the high levels of illiteracy.

Because  of all  the above most of the Orphans  do not have skills and any education they have  not  been able to be socially,  economically  and religiously  empowered  which have  made them to  be extremely  poor in terms  of material and  physical resources,  are socially  misfit, an neglected  and have  not been to participate  in any  religious affiliation or activity  thereby making them outcasts. 

Basing on the above  therefore Kigezi Home of Orphans Project came up  with the proposal and  idea of  bring all  of them together in order to share  common goods of  promoting  social economic  activities,  education support, eradication of diseases such as  HIV/AIDS and malaria  and also  through  supporting  agriculture  with aim of  increasing  household  income   and also  food security.

This has  been based  on the  vision of  ensuring  that there  is  improvement  on the welfare  of the  orphans  and vulnerable  children  by equipping  them  with the  vocational  skills so that they may  be able to  get the  basic  needs of  life  in line with  food, shelter, clothes education and  medical care.

It was based upon such  facts  that Kigezi Home of Orphans  Project was  born  in order to  facilitate  the welfare  and standards of living of the orphans  and vulnerable  children  within Katojo parish, Rutenga sub-county, Kanungu  District, South Western Uganda.   
Kigezi Home of Orphans has the field office in Katojo Parish, Rutenga Sub-county Kanungu District for the  programme   implementation of the  project  activities and  also the  regional  offices  in Kabale Municipality Kigezi Twimukye Building Floor 2
