Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project educates orphans in 2 free primary schools. We use a holistic approach that includes 2 daily meals, access to clean water, medicine, sanitary products, and assistance for their caretakers who are typically their grandmothers. Despite walking 7 miles to school and living without electricity, our students are outperforming most others. We've promised to fund their education up to university as long as they pass their exams. 100% of our first 3 classes have done so! Learn More

The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists sends experienced doctors abroad to educate and train healthcare workers in order to save the lives of mothers and their babies. Our next Fellowship doctor is travelling to Mbarara Hospital in Uganda in January 2012. Vital equipment and supplies are desperately needed to improve the care in Uganda. Just 5 can save a woman's life. Learn More

With only 4 doctors per 100,000 people in Uganda (the UK has 233 per 100,000), there is a critical lack of healthcare workers, especially in the rural areas. From this year, we will select some medical and pharmacy students from disadvantaged backgrounds to receive support with their course fees, living allowance, equipment and mentorship throughout their course. From next year we hope to expand to include more students and a wider range of health professions, much like our programme in Malawi Learn More

Siriba Primary School is on the refugee road and has grown rapidly to 1400 children. Next door, we have helped build a vocational training centre for older children which teaches carpentry, sewing and life skills. Offering vital hope and encouragement to poor and vulnerable young people - many of them orphans - it helps lift them out of poverty. We need help to sustain and develop this important work. Can you please help us secure the next two years? Learn More
