Christmas Humpers

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year when we celebrate Faith, Family, and Friends, and the tradition of giving gifts and sending out Christmas greetings it’s an easy way to reach friends and family as well as care for people we don’t know is another way of celebrating Christmas, it helps us appreciate Love, Hope in our lives we often take for granted 

Christmas, Children hold a special place in our Hearts and this Christmas is one of our favorite ways of reaching out to many children and their families in the invisible communities, we always surprise the community with Christmas #Hampers, so that they have a story to tell about Christmas 

It’s only on Christmas in most cases when we share Love and Care especially for those that need it most,

Gala 2022

Child Protection: Our Highest Priority

Children ReachOut Uganda’s approach to child protection begins with preventing abuse and violence against children whenever possible, especially before it begins. It is based on eight strongly held convictions, including:

No violence against children is justifiable.

Preventing violence against children is possible.

It’s everyone’s job to protect children.

Children Gala 2022

Children's Gala for Hope is an annual children's event on violence organized by Children Reachout Uganda and other like-minded organizations. The Children's Gala is where culture, religion, race, and tribe are respected and celebrated. Our humility is acknowledged as the thread that unites us with the children.

We truly believe violence against children is never justifiable. Violence against children is entirely preventable only if we involve the #Children #Schools #Teachers #Parents #Community #SaferSchools #Be Bold-Be Open-ReportNow

Orphan Sunday

#OrphanSunday is today we celebrate with Christian believers all over the world celebrate God's love in defense of the cause of orphans. It is also a call to us and our children to do the same.  2019, the best estimates show there are from 2 to 8 million children living in orphanages around the world, more than 150 million children who have lost one or both parents, and more than 1 billion children who experience serious abuse each year.

Research shows that children best develop and thrive in safe, stable, and nurturing families, with the greatest opportunity to reach their full potential. #WorldWithoutOrphans

Child Literacy

Children's Literacy Development 

#LiteracyBoost #CatchUp #CommunityClasses 

While more children are in school today than ever before, many are missing out on learning basic skills like Reading & Writing once they get here at our center, Literacy Boost is helping to change that by creating a culture of reading and writing outside the classroom that dramatically improves children’s literacy development. #AfterSchoolProgram

Exams

Finally, our children start their #Exams today, it's their time to shine, and we are extremely happy for this success, May God's hand be upon our candidates across the country. Thank you, #BoardMembers and #jivtibaFoundation

Sanitary Towels

#KeepingGirlsSafeInSchools with enough Sanitary towels was our dream always In many community schools’ menstruation is still often seen as an embarrassing and shameful, management process. Such taboos around the topic mean many adolescent girls are often unprepared for their periods and how to manage them. Many Girls in our community School have no access to basics such as Sanitary Products, We want to thank our partner #AparFoundation for providing our girls in candidate classes with #SanitaryTowels, #LatoMilk #SchoolSupplies to help them write their exams without challenges #ShantaWeGrateful #PrimarySevenGirlsCandidates

Day Of The Girl Child

Today, we commemorate the 10th anniversary of the International Day of the Girl (IDG). In these last 10 years, there has been increased attention on issues that matter to girls amongst governments, policymakers and the general public, and more opportunities for girls to have their voices heard on the global stage. 

Yet, investments in girls’ rights remain limited and girls continue to confront a myriad of challenges to fulfilling their potential; made worse by concurrent crises of climate change, COVID-19 and humanitarian conflict.

Girls around the world continue to face unprecedented challenges to their education, their physical and mental wellness, and the protections needed for a life without violence. 

Girls with disabilities face additional barriers to accessing support and services. COVID-19 has worsened existing burdens on girls around the world and worn away important gains made over the last decade. 

With adversity, however, comes resourcefulness, creativity, tenacity, and resilience. The world's 600 million adolescent girls have shown time and time again that given the skills and the opportunities, they can be the change makers driving progress in their communities, building back stronger for all, including women, boys and men. #OurTimeIsNowOurRightsOurFuture

Porridge Program

The link between poverty and poor health is not a hard one to see. Living in poverty can mean a life of malnutrition, poor hygiene, deplorable conditions and preventable diseases going untreated. Illness plunges people further into poverty and leaves children falling behind in school or failing to attend altogether. Your sponsorship or gift creates lasting change for the children in our communities by providing life-changing access to health care programs, medicines and early education about hygiene, nutrition and more

Thank you #JivtibaFoundation for changing children's lives and supporting our programs

We started #ChildrenPorridgeProgram after noticing that many children were coming to our centers Hungry because they had not had Breakfast or had walked a good distance to the center and needed more sustenance to keep them going throughout the day.

Our Dream

We are so excited to share with you our projects God has enabled us carry out through our board members, friends and well-wishers;  we have a target of children we need to reach out  in schools and communities, This is an opportunity for you also to get involved  #EveryChildMatters

Children Community Library

Our Children Community Library has become the hub for the community.  The library currently has over 600 books, 2 computers. The library is visited by community children, as well as being used by students coming to revise their books.

Through the library we have set up a reading programme, like Reading Camps and School Book Week. These programmes are also offered to nearby primary schools and it enables us to take our books into schools and encourage children to read. Thanks to our Community Library Partners #RainbowInternationalSchoolUganda #JivtibaFoundation #OldBooksForNewEyes

Expressing gratitude for a mentor is an important part of a mentor-mentee relationship. Be sure to show others how much you value their time and efforts.

Not only have you been a fantastic mentor to me, but you have taught me how to mentor other people. Thank you for being such a great role model

I am so grateful that you took me under your wing when I first started #ChildrenReachoutUganda. Your support and guidance has helped me grow into my potential. I would not be where I am today without you.

Reading 3

When we started a community library through the support of #MrsKotecha, this is exactly what we had in mind, children everywhere falling in love with reading story books, so children community library was an opportunity. This is because, according to Uwezo, 7 of every 10 children in Uganda cannot read and comprehend. We believe we can make a difference today and help children in Uganda fall in love with reading, this started happening through creating reading spaces for children. 

A year ago, a 10-year-old young girl #Millie from the United Kingdom was inspired by our children reading campaigns and she has started a fundraiser in which to mobilize her people and well-wishers she was able to raise for us #100 story books for our children. #Recap yesterday the reading camp came to an end we hosted 152 children for two days, I want to take this opportunity to thank partners for making this possible #JivtibaFoundation #RaisingTeenagersUganda Hope Nankunda #AuntieJovitaChildrenFoundation #ScriptureUnionUganda #BookAidInternational  #OldBooksForNewEyes #ShreeSthanakvasiJainSangh #UgandaChildrenWritersIllustratorsAssociation #NationalLibraryOfUganda #KigandaKyangeJovanArtist

Reading 2

The Children Reading Camp Concept, We believe that if we can help children to learn reading and words, their meanings and how to use them in sentences, then they will be able to understand concepts better and therefore pass standardized exams and be able to stay in school longer. 

Our desire is to create a learning environment for our children as well as give them an opportunity to dream.

We do this through providing them with reading spaces that have our set of fully illustrated positive reading, around the values of Character, Responsibility, Excellence, Empathy Discipline and Leadership.

We believe that words change the world, and through an exposure to reading, they will be able to increase their reading skills on one hand, while on the other hand, the words will enable them develop a positive attitude towards life, that they will need as they grow. 

Thank you to our partners for making the Children Reading Camp a success

Reading

For the last 5 years, we have grown in breadth, going from a pilot of 5 schools in 2018, altogether, having reached more than 10 schools and impacting well over 1000 children across different communities and primary schools in Kampala. In these years and with this growth we have learnt so much, gained a fair understanding of what the main challenges are.

We have created interventions to respond to some of these challenges, Like creating partnership with authors of children’s books, improving children’s libraries, organizing book week in schools and creating reading spaces, Children Reachout Uganda continues to grow and this creates demand for expansion to more communities and schools.

We shall continue in  investing more in improving children’s libraries, creating reading spaces and partnerships with other like-minded organizations

We shall also continue our campaign and efforts to get more books into the hands of Ugandan children, helping them to learn to read so they can read to learn.

None of this would be possible without our incredible community of friends and partners

Children Reading Camp

READING CAMP – Read to Lead 

We believe that children can only reach their full potential if they learn how to read and comprehend what they read. In order to succeed in life, every child should ideally finish school with a lifelong love of reading and the necessary literacy skills. We implement this through our major programs, Reading Camps, School Book Week and other Reading Initiatives.

Nutrition Program

We started this Nutrition Program after noticing that many children were coming to our centers Hungry because they had not had Breakfast or had to walked a distance to the center and needed more sustenance to keep them going throughout the day. The Nutrition Program has proved hugely popular and effective with many children turning up for after school catch up classes for reading, writing, counting, speaking and computer skills. Today we had a surprise visit from one of our partners #AparFoundation who brought breakfast for 220 children. #Milk #Bread #QueenCake 

Children with Special Needs

The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) recognizes the human rights of all children, including those with disabilities. Children with disabilities encounter different forms of exclusion and are affected by them to varying degrees depending on the type of disability they have, where they live and the culture or class to which they belong. Children with disabilities are often regarded as inferior, and this exposes them to increased vulnerability. Discrimination against and exclusion of children with disabilities renders them disproportionately vulnerable to violence, neglect and abuse. 

About Me

I started a Children organization,  To focus on supporting Children through Literacy Education, Nutrition, Child Protection, Education Support.

I provide all kinds of resources to educate and transform children and their families.

I truly believe Every Child Deserves a strong start- the best chance for a successful future.

But many children right here in Uganda aren't getting the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Together we can change this, 

My aim is to contribute measurably to helping children enjoy Good Health, be Educated and Protected
