One Step At A Time
(UK, 1127562) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,704.50One Step at a Time is a registered charity working in Northern Uganda with vulnerable children and families affected by 20 years of war and rebel activity. When Sandra Murphy first visited Uganda in 2005, hundreds of thousands of people were living in squalid conditions within displacement camps. Villages had been destroyed, families murdered, children abducted by rebels and thousands of children left as orphans by murder, disease and the spread of HIV/Aids. At that point, Sandra vowed to return to make a difference in a way that would bring love and hope to some of those people. In April 2008 she returned to the town of Lira to work with those children living on the streets and eating from dustbins and with families living in poverty. The first activities took place on a field with dirty children in rags joining in football and drawing out their feelings under the shade of trees. Second hand clothing was bought and with 4 washing bowls and some cheap soap children emerged from behind the bushes unrecognisable after a wash. Scrubbed clothing hung over bushes and life became a bit more under control. A large pot of porridge ensured one hot meal each day. Now the work continues from an office with sleeping room for children and the charity is managed by 6 staff in Uganda and trustees based in UK. 60 children, young people and their families are benefiting from One Step at a Time through education in primary and secondary schools, vocational training and support to develop their own income generating activities and be able to become independent. Families separated from children during the war have been reunited, and our research has found caring families to take in total orphans as their own. Regular follow up ensures sustainability for these families. We don’t pretend it is easy, these children have been through so much trauma but with love and consistency they are trusting that we will certainly do our very best.
