Help 15,000 Ugandan grandmothers care for children

Organization information

The Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project

Location: East Lansing, United States of America

Summary

We support 15,000 grandmothers across 3 districts in rural southwest Uganda to care for more than 60,000 children. These grandmothers have volunteered to care for their own grandchildren and other unrelated children who have been orphaned or abandoned. We provide extensive training, access to microfinance & support to start small businesses so that these grandmothers can learn new skills, generate an income and provide food, education and medical care for their children.
