ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
In Uganda, most orphaned children are as a result of HIV/AIDS, death/illness of parents. Moreover, with rampant poverty, any left as orphans can’t care for themselves. Older people are often left to care for them and simply cannot. These children, apart from inability to be able to raise school fees (tuitions); they are also unable to meet their basic needs of food, shelter, and medical care.
Afaayo Ministries Limited Uganda therefore was founded to respond these problems faced by orphans and other needy children. The Ministry was set up to give a hope to the lives of these children, to provide their tuition for their education, to give them purpose in life, providing them not just a balanced diet that gives them resistance to diseases, but also providing some with good shelter is a primary ministry. Responding to their ailments/sickness through medical care and counseling is also part of the mission. Indeed the ministry tries to rescue as many as possible. Afaayo Ministries provides each child a place of hope, love, safety and opportunity. Every child in the Ministry is a story of God’s incredible pursuit to care for the least of these. The abandoned children find family and love that will not leave them isolated and helpless.
Despite the government’s efforts to enable everybody access education through introducing universal primary education (UPE) many children in Jjeza village failed to continue with education because they can’t afford scholastic materials such as uniforms, books, pencils, lunches and other necessities that are required.
Even at secondary level much as the government has tried by introducing universal secondary education (USE), still some children especially orphans and needy are unable to attend school like their counterparts at the primary level because they can’t afford the basic necessities. However, our Ministry’s goal is to supplement the government’s effort by helping orphans and the needy on educational costs.
Through commitment, devotion and the support of many donors , this Ministry is so far helping over 60 children out of the large number of orphans and disadvantaged children in Jjeza village. While we are grateful for the current support, if more funding was available, more children could be helped.
