The area is known as Rakai +District. The population is mostly farmers. Although people are poor, there +is enough food. But this district is suffering from AIDS more than any other +part of the world. Some say that it started there. Estimations are that 10 +to 30% of the Ugandans are infected with HIV. Because parents die, there are +many orphans. In this district about 60,000 children have lost one or both +parents, out of a population of 350,000. And this is still continuing. + +The children need a lot of help. The KCC is working hard to provide the needy +with food, medical care and education. Food and medical care to keep them +healthy now, and education so that they can take care of themselves in the +future. KCC works on a Christian base, but help is given to children of any +religion. + +The key to solving the problems in this area is education. This has been +neglected in the past years with president Idi Amin and the following civil +wars. Now that the government is stable again, the children and parents have +to learn how to take care of themselves and how to avoid infections. There is +also help for people who are ill and hungry, but the primary goal is to +prevent people from getting ill and to teach them how to grow healthy food. + +Most of the orphans are living in an extended family. An uncle or older +sister is taking care of them. Because these families are big and the income +(if any) is low, a child is lucky if it gets healthy food. Clothes, medical +care and schooling is beyond its reach. To help these needy children, a +sponsorship program was put into place. A child can be financially adopted. +For a few dollars a month KCC sees to it that the child gets indispensable +items, is healthy, goes to school and KCC takes care of anything else that +needs to be done for the child and the family that supports it. + +Besides helping the child directly, the environment where the child grows up +needs to be improved. KCC helps schools to improve their teaching methods. +There is a demonstration school at the centre and teacher trainings are given. +Health workers are being trained, hygiene education is carried out and +households are stimulated to build a proper latrine. I helped setting up a +production site for cement slabs. These are used to build a good latrine. +They are sold below cost price. + +There is a small clinic at the project, which provides children and their +family with medical help. When needed, transport to a hospital is offered. +Immunization programs are carried out and help is provided when an epidemic is +breaking out (measles and cholera have been a problem). + *donate* +Summer 1994 to summer 1995 I spent a whole year at the centre, working as a +volunteer. I have helped to expand the centre and worked in the area of water +and sanitation. I learned that the help that the KCC provides really helps. +When I came back to Holland, I wanted to continue supporting KCC. To do this +I'm raising funds and organizing the sponsorship program. Please consider one +of these possibilities: + +1. Sponsor a child in primary school: 17 euro a month (or more). +2. Sponsor a child in secondary school: 25 euro a month (or more). +3. Sponsor the clinic: Any amount a month or quarter +4. A one-time donation + +Compared with other organizations that do child sponsorship the amounts are +very low. This is because the money goes directly to the centre. Less than +5% is used for administration. This is possible because this is a small +organization that works with volunteers. If you would like to sponsor a +child, you should have the intention to do this for at least one year. + +How do you know that the money will be spent right? First of all you have my +personal guarantee as the author of Vim. I trust the people that are working +at the centre, I know them personally. Further more, the centre is +co-sponsored and inspected by World Vision, Save the Children Fund and +International Child Care Fund. The centre is visited about once a year to +check the progress (at our own cost). I have visited the centre myself in +1996, 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2003.
