We are a non profit organization founded by Twin sisters. The organization is located along Entebbe road. Growing up in this we realised few children in our community were lucky to receive a good education like we did. As we grew, we got the passion to help those in need and soon after school we were able to find jobs that enabled us earn and support some children who were struggling with school fees and scholastic materials. We are glad that our family and friends were able to join us and the number of children to receive help increased. We were also able to introduce other projects like skills development among the youth like hair dressing, baking, knitting, making mats, baskets that they can sell and earn an income. This has enabled them to improve on their standards of living. We will be delighted to receive workawayers who are willing to share a blessing from these children, youth and the entire community.
Charity Work
Teaching
The travellers will be able to interact with the children and families in the community, they will learn about the different cultural languages, foods, dances, practices, and so many other intresting stuff. They will be able to enjoy the good wheather, environment and the nearby tourist attractions like the Zoo, Parks, Lakes and Rivers, Beaches and many others.
Our organization has a reading program for the scholars in which we would like the workawayers to involve themselves. We would love them to help the readers learn how to read, and also help them to embrace the reading culture. We also do charity towards the needy homes like giving necessities such as sugar, soap, clothes, scholastic materials..etc. We would also love the workawayers to involve themselves in these exercises. We have the youth programs like hair dressing, knitting etc and we would require the workawayers to empower our youths with more knowledge and skills.
