At the moment, we don’t have any sponsored children yet but we’ve managed to raise funds to buy food for the children in starving state. We also purchase scholastic materials from time to time for those children that are in school. We’ve made this happen through selling handcrafts.
Our justification is for rural communities to build a strong community and family structures using sustainable, community-focused approaches to address challenges faced due HIV/Aids, epidemics and poverty. We believe that a hunger-free, quality education is the best and the only way for Young men and women to empower themselves with the courage, self-esteem, language knowledge and power it takes to change the status quo for the better. We do this with the goal of ending pervasive cycles of poverty, hunger, and deprivation. The organization contributes 90% of its income to charity and local handicrafts made by the children and the community women are available for purchases and all the proceedings go to support the communities across Ugandan projects.
GODFREY learned that the less privileged communities especially around Bwindi impenetrable national park struggle with lack of farmable land and accessibility. Many orphans live on less than $1 or possibly nothing in a day but still wake up each morning motivated to initiate change in their livelihoods but lack resource.
Fund a child looks at projects with the most sustainable impact to reduce these burdens to the children and the communities around, start to bring change.
We intended to provide the needs by offering the services listed in NO.6 bellow.
The government has basically forgotten about the existence of the villages mentioned ab initio thus our goal as FAC, is to develop a system in these communities that accommodate capacity building to ensure that people in these communities are able to generate a sustainable source of revenue/income.
Visiting and buying scholastic materials for children in and around the area.
- Visiting and building a shelter for these children.
- Guided community walks.
- Uganda cultural entertainments.
- Special interests in tourism.
- Walking safaris.
- Batwa forest experience.
- Study field safaris.
The project will work in the population of approximately 80 kids plus community members indirectly benefit from it. The kids will be enrolled in various activities, School, drama to exploit their inborn skills and do agriculture to earn living.
The project shall be supervised by the Directors and the overall manager and shall be implemented by the board committee and advisor the of FAC
The project shall be monitored by the Donors and the director of the project.
