STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Due to the increasing number of unattended orphans or vulnerable children in
the community characterized by poverty and HIV/AIDS victims, it is against the
above statement that the project came up with an idea to reduce the increasing
percentage of street beggars and law breakers.
Besides, many parents die without making any will that will protect or safe
–guard their children so the in-laws that.
It is however, against that background that ‘’KAZIRA PROJECT” conceived the
idea of establishing a centre for such children.
The community came-up with these objectives below:
1. To provide the children with income generating skills for sustaining them
selves where needed.
2. Offer formal education leading to literacy
3. To guide and counsel children with HIV/AIDS and to help them where needed.
4. To sensitize the community and guardians about children’s rights.
5. To sensitize children and the community on HIV/AIDS, primary health care and
personal hygiene.
Nevertheless, there is a management committee to gear the affairs of the school
following the financial procedures on the ground.
STRATEGIES
1. Mobilize resources with the community for the project.
2. Organizing workshops and sensitize guardians, religious leaders about
children’s rights.
3. To instill in the orphans and vulnerable/HIV/AIDS children income generating
skills for sustaining them selves for better future.
4. Provide formal education to all on-going school children.
ACHIEVEMENTS
• We have taken children for blood test and those who have HIV/AIDS are on
ARVS.
• Children are able to read and write.
• Through guidance and counseling, many guardians have retreated and realized
that these children also have rights to education, shelter, medical care and
all basic needs.
• Few vocational skills have been achieved.

"At Kazira orphans Project Every one is a star"
In April 2012, Kazira
Orphans Project started to establish a chicken farming project that would
provide food for the orphans, vocational training for the orphans and an income
for the community. This would allow Charles’ orphanage to embark on
a business venture to bring a sustainable income to the community and in turn
fully support the orphan home and the orphans that reside there.
