Sponsorship works!

An average population age of just 16 years means that Uganda is disproportionately young. 30.1% of people live below the poverty line.

Civil war decimated one generation and AIDS decimated the next. Life expectancy has now risen to 63 years. However, poverty and limited access to health services mean that malaria, HIV/AIDS, TB and vaccine-preventable diseases are still key causes of illness and death in Uganda.

Civil conflict and the AIDS pandemic left many children growing up without parental care. Violence and corruption increase the level of the existing poverty, and the fragile economy struggles with high inflation. The effects of malaria and HIV/AIDS have a huge impact on many families in Kisoro Uganda. There has been woefully inadequate government investment in schools, medical care and social welfare, besides the government can not do every thing for the orphans and other people which explains the reason why we do what we do as a supplement to what the government does.

How is CEAPU & PCS helping children in poverty in Kisoro Uganda?

Ceapu has been helping children in poverty in Kisoro Uganda through its child sponsorship programme since the early its inception in 2012. We support almost 50 sponsored children in and around Kisoro. Outside of our child sponsorship programme, we provide education through providence Christian school and also Christian leadership training through Africa discipleship network.

Many of our children are orphans, or from AIDS-affected families, or are living in families barely able to provide a meal each day.

Education is such a key factor in helping vulnerable children, but education, especially in rural parts of Uganda, is hopelessly underfunded yet its only through quality education that we can surely break the continuous cycle of poverty.

Through child sponsorship we are:

  • Helping individual children access education, social support and welfare care.
  • We envision a future where we can enable vocational skills training, where an academic schooling is unsuitable to help children reach their full potential.
  • We hope to be able to help children with disabilities make progress and access learning and healthcare.
  • We plan on improving life opportunities for people ‘living positively’ with HIV/AIDS giving the needed counselling, testing and education, and, where appropriate, extra nutrition can be provided if we have the needed resources.

Sponsor a child in Uganda/PCS

Uganda, an East Africa country, comprises of 21 million children, translating to 46%of the total population.   Many of these children are trapped in poverty and are not able to access education. This is especially true with children from the Kisoro area who have been orphaned due to the aids pandemic and the constant wars in our neighboring countries of DRC and Rwanda especially the 1994 Genocide.

This situation has been made worse by Covid-19 pandemic, where some parents lost their business / jobs due to prolonged lockdown and the long closure of schools that exposed many children to abuse and exploitation.  Many even lost their lives.

According to UNICEF, around 1 in 10 school children did not return to school in January 2022 after schools were closed for nearly two years. 

Out of the 91% children that enroll for primary school, 53% complete primary and only 34% complete secondary school.

Our sponsorship program through Christian efforts against poverty supports children from poor and vulnerable backgrounds to enrol, keep in school and complete their education. We provide children with school fees and other school needs as well as supporting children and their families to becomes economically self reliant. 

We focus on children from pre-school to higher institutions of learning – giving children a life time opportunity to support themselves, their families and the community where they leave. This year 2026 we will have one of our children graduate with a bachelor of social work and social administration from kabale university.

We can only do this with support of people like you – who commit to contribute monthly, termly or yearly to ensure a children enrol, stay in school and complete their education.
