Netherlands based Organisation funds 1.4b Ugandan Childcare Project

An Alternative Care Initiative that has been launched in Buikwe district has received funding worth 350,000 Euros (about Ugx 1,297,166,043) from Terre de Hommes, a Netherlands based organization.

DSC_0096

The initiative, Alternative Care Consortium on Systems Strengthening (ACCoSS), seeks to reintegrate children with their families and will be implemented in four districts in Uganda – Kayunga, Wakiso, Mukono and Buikwe as a way of sustaining existing alternative care systems at national level and will run from 2016 to 2018.

SOS Children’s Villages Uganda is taking the lead on the project, which was launched during the Alternative Care Initiative Project Meeting at Buikwe District Headquarters on August 4, 2016. The meeting was a scale up of the previous ‘Strong Beginnings’ Project that closed in December 2015 and was held to discuss alternative care for vulnerable children and to promote ideal options besides putting these children in institutions with the aim of reducing child exploitation and abuse.

DSC_0086

Other stakeholders who were in attendance include officials from Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development, Child Health and Development Centre Makerere University (CHDC), School of Medicine,
College of Health Sciences Makerere University and African Network for Prevention and Protection against Child Abuse and Neglect (ANPPCAN) Uganda Chapter.

“Buikwe District was chosen as a result of the increased number of children falling into childcare institutions from this geographical catchment. We are adding our voice onto the national outcry for the increased and ever mushrooming care institutions in Uganda, of which Buikwe is one of the affected districts,” said Lillian Ssengooba, SOS Uganda’s National Programme Development Advisor.

DSC_0026
Terre de Hommes, a Netherlands based organization has provided funding for the project worth 350,000 Euros (about Ugx 1,297,166,043). “These funds will enable families to take care of their children to avoid
child-parent separations where children oftentimes end up in childcare institutions,” said Ronald Ssentuuwa, SOS Uganda’s Project Manager.
“We expect that at least 400 households in Kayunga, Wakiso, Mukono and Buikwe will benefit from this project,” he added.

Uganda currently has over 660 childcare institutions, one of which is SOS Children’s Villages Uganda. However, of these, only 17 have been licensed to operate by the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development. Over 40,000 children call these institutions home. 1.5 million children in Uganda remain abandoned and orphaned, while over
10,000 live on the streets.

Childcare institutions pose a threat to vulnerable children. When placed under this care, children often time suffer retardation in brain development, emotional stress, lack of family identity and disconnection of children from their communities. “We are hopeful that this project will provide solutions and see about 150 children being reintegrated back into their families,” remarked Ms. Ssengooba.

Africell Uganda continues to impress with their innovative packages for all categories of their customers, including students. Dubbed Uganda’s fastest growing network, the telecom giant will from tomorrow offer University students free special golden sim cards that are ready for use on loading of start off data. The attractive offer will be available for all students at the Makerere University (MUK), Kyambogo University (KYU), Kampala International University (KIU), Uganda Christian University (UCU), Makerere University Business School (MUBS) and Uganda Martyrs University, Nkozi (UMU) bazaars that start off this weekend.

Also as part of the rewards, students will stand a chance to win mega goodies at the Africell tents on purchase of recharge cards, 25 free MBS for every recharge of data above 25MBs, T-shirts, caps, phones, recharge vouchers and other attractive packages including the cheapest devices and phones. Africell Uganda’s vision has always been hinged on the provision of fast, countrywide, reliable, secure and affordable telephony and related services to their growing number of subscribers. Already, this is paying off with good results.

Last December, Africell was ranked the Uganda’s best network in terms of data speeds by Open Signal- who are the telecom industry’s leading analysts. The award sent Africell into high gear and has seen them launch Uganda’s first 4G LTE platform on their network to give their subscribers value for money with faster internet speeds, faster uploads and downloads. Africell has also previously been hailed by Uganda Communications Commission for their commendable job in improving their operations to standard.

Milad Khairallah, Africell’s Commercial Director says the golden sim card offer with the WTF (Whatsapp, Twitter, Facebook) social bundle is in line with their vision of giving their customers the best at the most affordable prices. “We value students and their need for data to be able to carry out research for their courses, keep in touch with their families and friends, plus also make phone calls at the lowest rates. Africell is the only network that can be relied on to deliver all this” Milad said. “I urge all students to take advantage of this offer, get free sim cards, register them and start calling, whatsapping, texting, facebooking and tweeting”

Africell whose revolutionary “King of the bundles” launch in October last year took the market by storm have continued to lead the innovative front to satisfy their subscriber’s needs. With other packages like the 0.5 shillings per second, the Tokota Nnyo bundle that combines 20 minutes of voice calls, 20 Mbs of data and 20 text messages for just 1000 shillings, Africell is the network with the customer in mind.
