Kiyoda Orphanage Care Buganda

KIYODA ORPHANAGE CARE PROGRAMME

880,000 children were orphaned in Uganda during the AIDS epidemic of the 1990s. 60% of the population are illiterate, secondary education is not state-funded, if parents can’t afford to send their children to school then they don’t go. Instead they are likely to end up working on their relatives’ land from a very young age. To go to school is a luxury reserved for those who can afford it.

At KIYODA we believe we can change this.

We run the orphanage for children who would otherwise be on the streets shining shoes or begging.
The world is a tough place, and there is no way to change that, but with a little compassion and a bit of time, we can actually make a difference. No one will come to our community to restore hope, we believe we can put smiles on faces of our little brothers and sisters by restoring their hopes.

Disabled children

KIYODA started working with disabled children, young people and their families because they need specialist help and support, and generally suffer from a wide variation in the quality of services they receive.
Across the Uganda, 60 per cent of disabled children live in poverty and the families of disabled children report particularly high levels of stress and isolation.

HIV/AIDS Awareness, Reproductive Health and Family Planning Programme.

The Program aims to limit the spread of HIV/AIDS in the rural populations of Kalungu town council Kalungu District . The program promotes education of the youth to raise their awareness about HIV/AIDS and to adopt a more responsible sexual behavior, whilst fighting stigma and discrimination that affect the people living with HIV and AIDS.

We organise the youth in anti-HIV/AIDS clubs to promote debates on sensitive issues in a friendlier environment. Interactive methods are used in weekly health education sessions conducted by volunteers of Kikukumbi Youth Rural Development Initiative.The main activities conducted in the framework of the HIV Prevention program is:

Community education
KIYODA performs HIV education sessions in primary schools and in non-schooling youth of our target communities. KIYODA has established 12 Anti-AIDS youth clubs and provide them with HIV education. The teaching program consists of a module which is developped in a series of education sessions. The module comprises Anatomy and Physiology of the genitals, methods of HIV transmission, symptoms, prevention methods, HIV virus and AIDS, opportunist infections, voluntary testing, treatment and care of people living with HIV/AIDS, Culture and sex related taboos, Gender and HIV/AIDS, reproductive health and family planning. Upon completion of this module, the youth make a club peer-educators. Those clubs of peer educators are thereafter involved community education and sensitization about HIV/AIDS.

Income generation Program

The income generating projects are designed to improve the overall living conditions of the villagers. During many education sessions, KIYODA volunteers have noticed that although the villagers understood the importance of using mosquito nets, soap, condoms and other health promoting facilities, very few of them could afford them.

Thereafter, KIYODA has initiated and supported a number of income generating projects in the target community.

1. Rabbit Rearing Project The concept of the project is to reduce malnutrition in the village by consuming high protein meat and to raise rabbits to sell for meat at local market KIYODA also hopes to organize educational visits to established rabbit rearing projects to give the villagers an opportunity to gain some expertise.

2. The Bee Keeping Project

The bee keeping project aimed to improve the income of local widowers. KIYODA has provided them with skills and capacity to produce process and sell honey as way of rural poverty reduction.

3. Small scale projects framework

KIYODA provides technical and financial assistance to a series of small scale projects of the local clubs and cooperatives. The small scale projects frameset include cassava growing, vegetables growing, rice growing and handcrafts projects.
