  • Uganda Volunteer Manual
    UGANDA VOLUNTEER MANUAL 2970 E. LAKE LANSING ROAD EAST LANSING MI 48823 517-575-6623 [email protected] Jackson Kaguri, Founder & Executive Director Jennifer Nantale, Country Director Desiree Kofoed, Volunteer Coordinator Welcome to The Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project’s Volunteer Manual Out of a population of approximately 31 million, Uganda’s AIDS pandemic has resulted in over 2.2 million orphaned children who have lost one or both parents. In addition to the trauma of losing a parent, orphans go without many of the basic human needs: food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, and education. While the African extended family has traditionally stepped in to support orphans, the devastating impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic has overburdened this traditional safety net. The Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project was born out of this crisis. The Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project is working on behalf of HIV/AIDS orphans in rural Uganda to end systemic deprivation, poverty and hunger through a holistic approach to community development, education, and healthcare. NAOP envisions the rural communities of Uganda able to build strong community and family structures using holistic and sustainable approaches that address challenges they face due to the HIV/AIDS pandemic, with a particular emphasis on grandmothers. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters around the world, NAOP is able to provide students’ care, healthy meals, clean water and more. NAOP began with a small primary school in Nyakagyezi aimed at educating and empowering students to rise out of poverty. In the last 14 years, Nyaka has continued to expand its human rights based holistic approach to alleviating poverty.

  • Annual Conference : Imperial Royale Hotel, Kampala, Uganda: Friday 14 Th October, 2011
    Regional Initiative in Science and Education (RISE) Annual Conference : Imperial Royale Hotel, Kampala, Uganda: Friday 14 th October, 2011 Theme: Integration of Science and Technology Research Networks in national and regional development through University-led Initiatives Speech by Hon. Minister of State for Higher Education during the opening of the Annual Conference Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome all of you to Uganda as we host the annual Carnegie RISE conference for AFRICA. Africa is at a critical time. The population is exploding, unskilled people are so may, production is low, jobs are scarce, food is scarce, the environment is degrading, energy is scarce, water is scarce, and yet, Africa is a major target for foreign investment. Therefore, with globalization and regional integration surrounding everything we do, Africa needs to embrace Science and Technology as a key tool and driver for development. You Universities must walk to the challenge! A key strategy to globalised challenges is adopting partnerships, collaboration and networks. That is why I am so pleased and thank full to you all that have made these networks to function. We are very thankful to you the Carnegie Corporation of New York and your partners. Please, keep this fire! For long, Universities have been detached from the realities of communities they serve! You are supposed to help transfer transformative innovations, technologies, knowledge and skills to the communities. 1 I am however, pleased that to some extent, there seems to be a rush for ‘taking universities to communities’ and one of the reasons for this has been exposure to networks and partnerships with the academics, private sector and governments working together, even across national borders to share advice and approaches to challenges.
