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
