CURRENT PROJECTS
The Ainembabazi Children’s Project aims to
improve the quality of life and enhance and promote educational
opportunities for orphans and vulnerable children in Africa.
Currently, the organization’s activities focus
on meeting the needs of children affected by the AIDS crisis in
Southern Uganda. The situation of children affected by AIDS in Africa
is precarious, leaving not only children’s lives at stake,
but also the future economic and social development of communities
and nations. The extent of the ‘orphans epidemic’ cannot
be overstated and our current aim is to alleviate, in small ways,
the longer-term impact of this crisis.
Ainembabazi means ‘having grace’ or ‘having
compassion’ in Runyankore, the local language in Mbarara,
Uganda. The organization exists out of our common compassion for
orphans and vulnerable children. We hope to empower them and provide
them opportunity and strive to do so by working with the local communities
to meet the needs of children and to find ways of embrace our common
humanity and dignity
Our Mission
The Ainembabazi Children’s Project exists to advance the rights
