Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project educates orphans in 2 free primary schools. We use a holistic approach that includes 2 daily meals, access to clean water, medicine, sanitary products, and assistance for their caretakers who are typically their grandmothers. Despite walking 7 miles to school and living without electricity, our students are outperforming most others. We've promised to fund their education up to university as long as they pass their exams. 100% of our first 3 classes have done so!
The objective of this outreach is to provide Vocational and Educational training to displaced Ugandan children through the establishment of a Model Farm, including Poultry and Livestock Management
