OUR LOCATION

It takes around 6 hours in private means from Kampala to Kabale and 7-8 hours in public means (public bus). The project is around 16 kilometers from Kabale town. This place is situated in Ndorwa, Kabale, Uganda; its geographical coordinates are 1° 18' 57" South, 30° 4' 52" East. Maziba in Kabale District (Western Region) is a town located in Uganda about 206 mi (or 332 km) south-west of Kampala, the country's capital place. It is 6 kilometers of muddy road/Dusty road off the tarmac road off Mbarara-Kabale road.

The most important aims of the project- 

1. Overall Objective: To Support Orphans and Vulnerable School dropout girls and boys, Breaking the yoke of vulnerability and having good working conducive environment to enable them obtain sustainable successfully/desirable life so as to live a fulfilling life through Vocational training.

2. Project Objectives

1. To reduce and/or end vulnerability of Orphans and School dropout girls and boys through vocational, psychosocial, and spiritual support in Nyanja area-Maziba Kabale district-Uganda.

2. To build a home for Orphans and Vulnerable School dropout girls and boys in the Nyanja area Maziba- Kabale District-Uganda.

1.      The main beneficiaries

Orphans and Vulnerable girls and Boys who have dropped out of PRIMARY school.

2.      the project is financed

This project is out of my desperate reaction to try as much as I can to respond to hundreds of vulnerable orphans or poverty stricken primary school drop outs in this rural area. At the moment the project has no donor/ Good Samaritan at all.

The teachers at voluntary basis who are given upkeep of 150,000- 200,000/Ugandan shillings (@ 55 Us.$ )are paid by my allowances from my professional counselling work. Am also supported by  local communities of Nyanja and Consolers of the Sacred Heart Sisters of Jesus (Abuhumuza Mutima  Gwa Yesu Sisters founded in Kabale- with a mother house in Rubanda parish in Rubanda district) who also give some basic support.  We believe that ending vulnerability and poverty starts with us by seeing the power of people and doing what we can available in our means.

We do not feed children apart from porridge for lunch and most of them are not residential since their residence is not build and we use two incomplete classrooms.

We are still searching for charitable people to support some of these orphans. The cost of supporting one orphan (including their education) for one year is around $350 a year or it around $ 120 a term (a quarter). They are three quarters in a year. This amount covers tuition, uniforms, lunch fee, shoes, cloths, etc. 

3.      Buildings and Land.

Home of Divine Mercy has three acre land occupied by eucalyptus trees with a structure of two incomplete class rooms, already roofed only in need of (lacking) ceiling, floor and plastering and painting. These rooms are meant to be for the Orphans and Vulnerable School dropout girls and boys.   This three acre land was bought by Fr. Ankwasiize Evarist originally for putting his residential home and now has offered it to the project of these orphans and vulnerable children

OUR GENESIS

Our project started on 23^rd April 2017 with four orphans who were chased by their caretakers and sought refuge at our village home in Nyanja-Maziba Kabale-Uganda. It became an eye opener to what is happening to thousands of vulnerable children in the locality and started to get what to do to change their miserable life style for a meaningful life.

Context of Nyanja Village

Nyanja village-Maziba County is one of the remotest villages in Kabale district Uganda. The Families are mainly depending on farming and daily casual labor work. Literacy rate is poor and it is difficult for majority of the people to do any skilled work as they are not trained for such work. The cluster of villages are very interior that they are unable to reach even to a nearby market or any institute to develop skills or engage in productive lifestyle. The families mostly fall under Below Poverty Line (BPL) (less than a dollar per day). Orphans and young Girls and boys from vulnerable families mostly drop out before primary seven and some even never go to school at all. They are not encouraged by family to move further with their studies. Government programmes have played their part by providing Universal primary education but this is just a pie nut and a drop in water in the Ocean of needs in the development of   these   vulnerable children. Kabale town is 38 kilometers apart. Hundreds of children around the area are denied these basic rights of childhood due to ignorance of care takers and/or biting poverty. All children are born with vibrant spirits and unlimited potential—it’s our job to provide them with the things that they don’t come into the world with: Safety, Education, Opportunity to live fulfilling life etc. On 5^th February 2018 Fr. Evarist and Consolers of the Sacred Heart of Jesus sisters invited vulnerable girls from neighboring village for small basic support and 33 (thirty three) of them come. This became the very first students of the Home of Divine Mercy

On 8^th April 2018 the Divine Mercy Sunday these children were dressed with uniform and led singing at the local church and thus officially launched HOME OF DIVINE MERCY VOCATIONAL TRAINING INSTITUTE
