YTD Raised: £0.00
(UK, 1113447) The Help Uganda Trust supports in particular the Children and Young people of St Michael's Children's Home Kampala. Unlike many charities operating in Africa and Uganda the HUT aims to pay for professional training and/or University places so that each child is capable of fully supporting themselves when they leave the home. It is not just education to sixteen or eighteen and then back on the streets with the need for continued charitable support or alternativily facing the return to extreme poverty. The HUT pays for the day to day expenses of running the home including food, medicine, utilities and staff. There are approximately 85 resident and a further 20 family placed children. In addition to the on-going expenses the Trust pays for the education of approximately 45 of the young people. Other charities and donors pay for the remaining children's education. The children come from a range of ethnic (tribal) and religious backgrounds and it is the home's policy that children are treated equally regardless of background. Most are there because of armed conflict or because of the impact of AIDS. At the home great emphasis is made on teaching the children to respect each other’s religious differences and in the equality of the sexes. We are particularly proud of our success with young girls and are delighted in the confidence that many have obtained. We are also proud that some of our children have gone on to become doctors, teachers, engineers as well as artists and musicians. Please support us however you can Signing up for regular giving is particularly helpful as the children need ongoing support.

It will be two generations before radiation levels in parts of Vetka District reach acceptable levels and 244,000 years before they return to pre-Chernobyl levels. This small local charity working in the radiation fallout zone of Vetka, Belarus (White Russia) was formed in 2001 by a small group of people concerned for the welfare and future of a people whose lives had been devastated by the Nuclear accident at Chernobyl in 1986. The area remains, to this day, one which is struggling with the aftermath. Large areas still remain closed to the population because of the very high radiation levels.

Together With The Children
(UK, 1143255) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Together with the Children is dedicated to permanently ending the misery of street children. It is the sister organisation of the JUCONI Foundation (Juntos Con Los Ninos) which has transformed the lives of thousands of children and their families in Mexico and Ecuador. For many children living and working on the streets of Mexico and Ecuador, JUCONI is their last chance. JUCONI works with highly excluded children who drop out of or are missed by existing state and voluntary service provisions. Every time such children are failed by another organisation, they become more detached and less trusting that their lives can be improved. For the majority of children supported by JUCONI, integration into a safe family environment is the result of the intensive and personalised work carried out by highly trained educators over a period of time. However, for some children, the creation of a safe environment in their familial home is not possible and, in those cases, children are housed and nurtured in JUCONI House. JUCONI has developed a pionnering model to address the needs of street children and their families and shares this knowledge worldwide through its training programme.
