humans are saviors of themselves!

Feasting with children under my care is my passion and availing to them the basics of life makes me happy.

This festive season, I managed to dish out clothes, shoes ,food rations and threw a feast for all the people at my home.

A healthy diet is essential for good health and nutrition. It protects you against many chronic noncommunicable diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer. 

A simple meal filled with multiple nutrients 

Eating a variety of foods and consuming less salt, sugars and saturated and industrially-produced trans-fats, are essential for healthy diet.

Attached are some of the pictures as they unfold.

Challenges faced by orphans in the Rwenzori region

Illiteracy is common in the Rwenzori region. While universal primary education is a government policy, parents must still contribute in large part to the cost of their children’s education. Some communities don’t take education seriously, and orphans are greatly at risk to not having relatives who will pay their school fees.


Superstitious belief systems, witchdoctors and witchcraft
 are common within the Rwenzori region. Child witch hunting is driven and justified by some religious groups. Accused children are expelled or trafficked, and in some instances are killed in acts of ritual sacrifice as people are duped to believe that performing rituals can attract good fortune.



Lack of shelter is a great obstacle and some orphans can be found living on streets. Those who have relatives to live with can still find themselves in a very run down circumstances. In many cases the children are not given the right to the properties left by their parents, as other relatives take the assets. Whether on the streets or without adequate care with relatives, they are at risk of addiction to drugs and narcotics at a very tender age due to lack of parental care and guidance.


Insufficient food and malnutrition
 is common among Rwenzori orphans, as some only live on leftover foods thrown in dustbins. Kwashiorkor and marasmus are diseases that arise due to an severe deficiency of nutrients and starvation.
Child labor is common among orphans in the Rwenzori region; some have been made to work in sand and quarry mining, working as house boys and house girls at such a tender age.

 
Sexual violence victims are common among orphans. Some have been sexually abused even in orphanage homes, convents, seminaries, schools, etc.

Civil wars and rebel insurgencies
 that have been prevalent in the Rwenzori region have had children and women as first victims. Some orphans have in the past been captured and incorporated into Christian rebel armies and trained as child soldiers.

Child trafficking 
is also common where some orphans have been sold as slaves to the western and Arab markets for child labor and sex tourism.


Denial of basic human rights to girls
 due to traditional norms where girls are treated unfairly when it comes to eating certain nutritious foods or even going to school. Female genital mutilation is still performed in some communities.

What are the problems faced by orphans in Uganda


Some orphans studying at Bizoha Campus Muhokya
  • Lack of access to education: Many orphans in Uganda are unable to attend school due to lack of funds or lack of access to schools.
  • Poor health care: Orphans often lack access to basic health care and medical attention.
  • Poverty: Orphans in Uganda are often living in extreme poverty and are unable to access basic necessities like food and shelter.
  • Lack of support: Orphans are often neglected by their families and communities and lack support.
  • Orphaned and abandoned children are vulnerable to cases of child abuse like forced manual labour,sex molestation and drug abuse. 

These can have a serious impact on the lives of Uganda’s orphans. Without access to education and other basic necessities, these children are at risk of being exploited and falling into a cycle of poverty.


Orphans deserve better

 

Sponsor an Orphan Today

Give vulnerable orphans the love and care they need to thrive.

There are an estimated 153 million orphans in the world. These children have experienced more heartbreak in their short lives than most of us could ever imagine – and for millions of children in developing countries, losing one or both parents can lead to a life of poverty and abuse.

You can sponsor an orphan and provide them with nutritious meals, clothes, essential healthcare and education.



Some of our pioneer orphans in the early years of 2015 are right now in their teenage years


 With your support, we can make sure that orphans in need and vulnerable children get all the opportunities you'd want for your own little ones. 

When you sponsor an orphan, you’ll be helping an innocent child build a better life for themselves. Orphan charity provides orphans in need with a way to break free from the poverty cycle for good, so please help these children who cannot help themselves. 

Kasese Humanist Orphans is so grateful to standing there for the orphans to ensure they access meaningful education and other basics of life.
