Since our last report in June, there have been 5 babies brought to NOTDEC and taken into our care. These are in addition to the babies within our Save Life Programme, where on average we take in one new baby every month.
Each additional baby or young child represents an extra mouth to feed, house, clothe with extra demands on our staff and resources.
We currently have 168 children under our care, 45 resident at our on-site fully staffed facility at Kabirizi, Kasese district of SW Uganda. The remainder of children (123) are placed with families in the remote hillside region where we are based. These off-site children generate additional demands by the requirement to maintain regular contact with our social workers who visit their homes and schools.
It costs us around £1,000/year per child to maintain their support whether they live on site or with families in the district.
There is always a shortage of sponsors to fully support all of the childern, we have in our care, so we ask you to consider how you can support us.
We understand not everyone can provide a full sponsorship, but if you contact us, we are happy to discuss options for part-sponsorship, where you would be provided details of one particular child on a regular basis.
Please do contact us, to discuss any ways you may beable to support us, we are more than happy to engage with any genuine enquiries.
