UGANDA

    “Every one is a star”

There are well over 2 million orphans in the African country of Uganda, largely as a result of HIV AIDS. Most of these orphans live with a grandparent or other relative, but some of them have no one able to care for them. Kazira orphanage was established specifically to provide loving care to some of these orphaned and abandoned children, and currently we have over  374 children between the ages of 4 and 16. Located near the city of Kabale in South western Uganda, Kazira orphans project itself runs a nursery and Primary School at the site  in temporary structures to help children who are traveling long distances to school to one place but we need to build permanent school structures so any body can help in this excellent cause.

Before children started coming to Kazira Orphanage, many of these orphans had no one to care for them, while others were living in desperate conditions with aging and overburdened grandparents. Now the children are thriving in a healthy, nurturing Christian environment.
Considerable attention has been given to making Kazira as self-sufficient as possible. Food crops are being grown and harvested on our 10 acre farm located a few miles away. Rainwater is collected and used for washing clothes and scrubbing floors. Solar panels (which cover the roof of the bathhouse) and a large bank of batteries reduce dependence on the national electrical grid and reduce utilities costs. Cows, goats, pigs and chickens provide food for the children and an opportunity to learn about animal care.
You can help maintain and expand the services offered by Kazira. Contact us to know how you can support the work of Kazira Children orphanage and make a huge difference in the lives of orphans in Uganda, East Africa.
