INTRODUCTION:
OWHA Charity - Uganda is a Christian non-profit making
charity organization that carries a national holistic ministry and has its offices
in Jinja town Uganda. OWHA Charity aims at reaching all kinds and depths of
HIV/AIDS afflicted orphans and vulnerable children in both rural and urban
communities through various means especially the teaching of the love and
virtue of Jesus Christ.
OUR OBJECTIVES:
- Establishing foster family resource centers to provide information, accommodation, education, love, care, protection and decent medical attention to vulnerable children and care givers.
- Propagating the practical Christian faith in obedience to the Great Commission of Jesus Christ.
- Promoting community-based healthcare, nutrition, water, and environmental sanitation among people in poor communities.
- Empowering the needy members of the community to participate in income-generating activities for the socioeconomic transformation of their homesteads.
- Promoting initiatives among communities to mobilize members for the care of individuals and families affected by HIV/AIDS.
- Offering moral guidance and services to persons including children, youth and adults
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:
We support and
protect widows and children from all forms of maltreatment.
This is an independent, indigenous, Christian church-based,
non-governmental organization with a passion for bringing hope and adding value
to rural African communities through parenting orphaned children in
HIV/AIDS-ravaged communities, economic empowerment for improved household
income, food security, evangelism, church planting and discipleship.
FOSTER CARE
Most orphaned children with family ties are supported by
extended family. OWHA provides education support, medical attention, school
uniforms and scholastic materials to these children. Without it, these
less-privileged children would have no access to education and medical care.
ADVOCACY:
Communities in Africa still harbor what tradition considers
the ‘disciplining of children.’ This includes setting kids ablaze, cutting off
ears, tying them with ropes against trees, and throwing them out of the house
for offenses such as not greeting elders, not kneeling before older people, eating
food before meals are served, etc. The prevalence of these cultural evils is
what stirred OWHA to start advocacy programs to be a voice for these innocent
kids battered in the name of discipline. We sensitize communities about
Biblical-acceptable disciplinary measures as a means of restoring dignity to
our society.
