EMMANEL GROUP OF ORPHANS UGANDA (EGO)
Request for Your Support
PREAMLE
It is in the heart of God to raise orphans and destitute children and we the founder members of EGO Uganda are committed to address this growing need. We know that it is a task we could never accomplish without the helping hand of friends like you. We indeed pray that you will be encouraged to work with us to give these children the future they deserve.
EGO is a non-Governmental, Independent Organization founded in Uganda in the year 2003. Our current area of concentration is Kalagala, Kibiito and Kasawo sub counties in the rural parts of Mukono/Kayunga and Kabarole Districts. EGO Uganda is nondenominational and has no formal relationship with any one church but seeks to interact with all bodies and individuals that share the same vision.
OUR GOAL
The goal for this program is to bring is to bring up orphaned and needy children by finding ways and means of meeting their, physical, spiritual and social needs and reaching out to all the children with love and compassion. The end result is to raise reliable responsible, resourceful and productive citizens through providing and facilitating the education, instruction, training and equipping with skills to the children.
THE PROBLEM
Today, orphans remain a burden of extended families although most of these are living from hand to mouth and many of them are victims of AIDS themselves. In a situation like that, these families who can hardly take care of their own children, naturally find it almost impossible to take in an extra child.
As more family members succumb to AIDS, the problem becomes even more complex. In fact, this scenario has been played out over and over again, so that today we have another unique problem: households headed and managed by children themselves because all grownup relatives have perished.
WHAT TO DO
To achieve our goal, we employ various means and ways of reaching out to these children.
· Teaching, counseling and upbringing of children to make them responsible and productive citizen of Uganda.
· Providing and facilitating the education and training of these children in order to equip them with life skills.
· Establishing foster homes for those children who are homeless, currently we have encouraged with the relatives and family friends of such children to accommodate them, as they have nowhere else to go.
· To provide/facilitate health care for the orphans.
· By establishing projects and activities that generate income for the families hence improving the direct benefits to the child.
· Sponsorship for School fees and other educational requirements.
· Medical care.
· Clothing
· Family and Community development projects.
CURRENT TARGETS
1. To provide education to 200 orphans and destitute children through a sponsorship program by the end of 2008.
2. To work with families to provide shelter for the homeless and food for the needy.
3. To promote health care for those who cannot afford it but are in need of it.
4. To bring healing through counseling to the many traumatized children as a result of AIDS, social conflict and poverty.
5. To establish a sound sponsorship program that benefits the real needy orphans.
6. To empower 50 vulnerable youth with vocational skills to enable them to become self-reliant.
7. To support 30 needy families start a viable income generating activity by the end of 2008 to help them provide for their family needs in future.
LIMITATIONS
Whereas we strive towards the goal, there are important areas that need to be addressed which if not, our work will be hampered.
1. Inadequate facilitation to reach some really needy children.
2. More than 300 children have been identified so far to be in need of sponsorship.
3. Funds for carrying out various activities and facilitating volunteers.
BUDGET AND FINANCING
1. A Primary/Elementary School child needs an average of US $30 per month for his/her education, feeding and provision of basic needs in a rural setting.
2. A Secondary/High School student will need on average US $40 per month for his/her education depending on the School and provision of basic needs in a rural setting.
3. To enable a school drop out to train in a vocational skill e.g. tailoring, cookery, carpentry, bricklaying, building, electronics, motor vehicle mechanics, electrical, US $50 is needed per month.
4. To enable a family to start a small viable income generating activity, an average of US $50 is needed in a rural setting.
Please note that 80% caters for the direct benefits to the child. The child will be able to:
· Attend extra lessons at school to improve the child's academic performance.
· Be visited by our social workers for guidance and counsel both at home and at school.
· Attend our termly children's seminars where they openly discuss the problems affecting them and get technical as well as parental guidance and advice.
· Write to his/her sponsor at least once in every school holiday to update the sponsor on the progress and situation at home and at school.
· Receive letters, parcels etc. from his/her sponsor.
· Be visited by the sponsor but through VODA Uganda.
HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE
EGO is soliciting for support to enable her to continue the ongoing support of orphans in the rural part of Kabarole, Mukono and Kayunga districts where greatest need was identified. Immediate response would help alleviate some of the desperate cases. You can give a financial donation, material or technical support. You may tell others about this program whom you think are in position to help. You may also initiate fundraising strategies on our behalf.
You may stand as an individual to sponsor a child or you may team up as an organization.
Once you are interested to participate in this program, we can send you the children's particulars, which include a most recent photograph of the child, a Child Data Form and the most recent School report. From these, you have the opportunity to select the children you want to support.
20% of your Donation goes on Administrative expenses to cater for such issues as:
· Transport costs for coordination and visitations
· General office expenditures / communications
· Salaries and allowances
· Miscellaneous expenditures
· Fundraising Initiatives
In addition, a sponsor may decide to send a separate donation to the child as a gift outside the monthly commitment. This is also welcome. Usually, this helps to cater for the special needs of the child say textbooks, animals to rear, clothing, beddings etc. It may be a sponsor's will to support the family of his/her sponsored child with a small grant of say US $50 to start a viable income generating activity for the benefit of the sponsored child. This is also accepted.
TO MAKE A FINANCIAL DONATION
We accept all means, which are most cost effective for you. You may send it through Western Union, FedEx Courier, or Money Gram or wire transfer. Link up with the service provider in your area and write to us.
