Dove Uganda Children's Fund

We work in partnership with parents of nyakagando nursery and primary school, hope kebir nursery and primary school, and peace yumbe nursery and primary school to provide much of the education of our sponsored children. We have ministry centers in kampala, wakiso, kiryandongo, arua and yumbe. We train the children in skills like tailoring, hair dressing, cookery, motor vehicle repair, soap making, videography, farming, introduction to computers and bicycle repair. We provide assistance for well drilling and fresh water. Some children are treated for external parasites such as ring worm and instestinal worms. Training sessions are held for parents, teachers, pupils and other members of the community on preventing re-infestations of these maladies. Funds are being sought to improve and expand the toilet facilities at a number of our centers. Teachers, parents, and other members of the community are trained on Children's rights, child abuse and the value of education so the children can grow up to be better citizens. Several seminars and church visitations are made during the year to benefit the Children's spiritual development.
