Provide Education to AIDS Orphans in Rural Uganda
More Information About this ProjectProject Needs and BeneficiariesHundreds of thousands of families in South-Western Uganda that have lost breadwinners to HIV/AIDS are stuck in systemic poverty cycles where children lack access to healthcare, education, food and shelter. Nyaka fights poverty by empowering these children, especially girls, through free, quality education, healthcare, and basic needs. One of our girl students, Irene, says, "We were suffering in the villages... I am very happy to be in secondary school where I forget about being an orphan." ActivitiesWe run two free primary schools for 462 vulnerable children that provide meals, clothes, medical care, vocational training, community potable water, and a HIV/AIDS prevention program. We support 72 students through secondary school.

Project Message
"I grew up in rural Uganda where my parents sold goats, cows, & land to educate me. Despite not having parents to make such sacrifices, the students at Nyaka still have a chance for a bright future." Who is Running This ProjectContact
