HOPE ORPHANS CENTRE-IGANGA (H.O.C.I)

This is a community based organization operating from the eastern district of Iganga in Uganda, Africa. Its offices are located at Lubira village in Lubira Parish in Buyanga Sub-County in Iganga (Uganda, Africa). The organization was established purposely to help the orphaned African children and vulnerable children on the black continent. In Africa and Uganda in particular, there are a number of orphaned children whose parents died of HIV/AIDS, Ebola, among other diseases, other orphans are victims of war, refugees to mention but a few. Its upon such a background that the organization was put into exixstance to liberate the orphaned African children from misery.

The organization was started by Naigaga Naume and she is the current director assisted by Kabweru Kenneth Ivan. All having face book accounts at this moment.

The orphanage started in 2015 with a small number of children. By that time, the children were very few and as the members we were able to meet their needs. As time went on, the number of children increased and it was in 2016 that we put this online and started requesting for help from the outside world.

The organization was established to uplift and ensure the good living standards of the orphans and to enable them acquire quality education. Its major source of funds is agriculture. We grow different crops like maize, groundnuts, pumpkins, tomatoes among others but due to the fact that it is not a source of income to rely on, we welcome donation from people all over the world

NAIGAGA NAUME

DIRECTOR

NAIGAGA NAUME’S BIO DATA

Am Naigaga Naume born on 23rd July 1969 at Bwayuya Village in Bulange Subcounty in the current Namutumba District. . My father was the late Ntende Benefansi (retired soldier) who died when I was only 16 years and mother was Namukose Getrude (peasant)who died two years after the death of my father. Am the first born of the four children of my mother although my father had married two wives.

By profession am a primary teacher.

My father died in 1986 and the mother died in 1988. By that time, I had just finished my senior four. The step mother started becoming a problem to us, we were seriously mistreated, she was ever promising to make us follow our mum and yet it is believed that this step mom was behind the death of our mother.

We tried to endure but after my young sister surviving poison, we organized to move away and start a new life.

I decided to go and rent a small room where we had to stay. My sisters were in lower classes, I had to put my education on a standstill and start looking for a job in order for life to move on. I landed on a job a few months and started working as a licensed teacher from where I based to go to Kyambogo University to professionalize.

Nothing was given to us such that life can move on since we were all girls. Life later became so hard, my young sisters later went and married.

At the age of 28, I joined the college for a certificate in primary teaching and in that very year I got married and start a family.

In 2010, one of my sisters passed away and the following year my husband also went.I started life again with my four children Nankwaga Hellen, Nabirye Miriam, Wako Derick and kyakoba Teddy.

After I later adopted three children who were suffering when they were still very young. In 2013 I adopted more two to make them five, by that time, I was able to get the little I can to facilitate them. In 2015, more children were identified and joined us, In that very year I registered it as a Community based organization in the name of Hope Orphans Centre Iganga with 12 children.

The member went on increasing and the church joined me and other well wishers to meet the needs of these children who we were keeping in an apartment that we were renting. Later the friends joined us to advise on how we can make this mission moving on and rendered us support to create an ideal life for the children.

In 2017, we went again for renewal of the registration with 22 children under our care, we also started plans of constructing a permanent home for

these children.

In 2018, the number of children increased to 28 after a number joining us. We also started getting some funding for the construction of the home, we started by growing some crops which were sold for money to start with. Later that year, we managed to buy one acre of land, construction started immediately. By early 2019, these building we're ready although not is a very good condition one could expect but at least they had got somewhere to spend night.

We started with the big house you usually see with red iron sheets and the other on the other side. In May that very year, the Brown mission society blessed us with another piece of land equivalent to half an acre located adjascent the organization.

In early 2020,after making brick, we managed to set up a poultry unit and a kitchen.

Currently we are having 38 children under our care with me as the director and kabweru Kenneth Ivan as the assistant director.

I feel sad and shade tears whenever I remember where I came from and what I went through and it’s not my desire to see any child going through that life.

I know it is very hard but nothing is permanent. Sometimes the Lord knows how to change things. Read Mathew 21:42.

In mid-2020, our sister in Christ from Australia blessed u with another piece of land equivalent to an acre. We managed to also get mattresses, bed sheets, pillows and beds for each child under our care, we also got five sewing machines so our children are being equipped with tailoring and fashion design skills/

At the moment, we need to establish a foundation school and a vocational institution purposely to equip the needy with real life skills for survival, we need to do renovation of the hope buildings and also other structures to accommodate more needy people and also established other income generating projects so that the organization stop relying on donations all the time not forgetting the day to day needs say food, water, medical care, soap, clothes, shoes among many more.

With great thanks, am happy for making me a public figure in the needy Africa.

Naigaga Naume

Let's go and change the world.

KABWERU KENNETH IVAN

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR

KABWERU KENNETH BIO DATA

He is a Ugandan national born in 1994. He holds a certificate in information technology from platinum ICT and a Bachelor of Business Administration from Nsaka University majoring in Accounting. He currently works with JK Computer Service Centre and is the assistant director of the organization.

He is currently the assistant director of the organization.

THE ORGANISATION

The organization cares for 38 people of whom 36 are children from the age of two years to 17, one lame man and one old woman. All the children are in primary level except one girl who is in secondary. These children depend of us for food, shelter, water, clothes, medical care, and education among others.

Shelter

The Hope Orphans Centre Iganga orphanage has got a permanent home. this home was established with the help of our friends who contributed little by little. the children started living happily in their new home in January 2019 although they are not yet finished.

This place has got two permanent blocks. the first block has a room for boys and another room for boys, the second has the eating rooms and the store.

Food

The children at Hope Orphans Centre Iganga (HOCI) get their food from well-wishers and at times from the gardens,

The crops in the garden are at times destroyed by sunshine more especially during the period between November and March. During this period, there is no any single crop that can grow due to a lot of sunshine that we experience.

However there is no one in our country who can help these children with food. They are basically dependent on donations to live.

Education

The organization has a number of ongoing school children.

These children get their school fees from the well wishers and at times we get it for them after a serious struggle.

The children move 2 kilometers every morning to reach the nearby school. The quality of education that they get from this school is of low quality as we put aside the long distance that they move every day.

On matters concerning academics, the teachers at this school are ever on strike due to their dissatisfaction with the government. This limits their concentration in class and the children continues to perform very poor.

Health

In the area, there is only one health centre called Lubira Health Centre III which is located 3 kilometers away from the area. This is a state owned enterprise and the doctors are always on strike and absent.

When one goes to visit the doctor, if you get a chance to find one there, the medicine will never be there.

Therefore, it is best to start a new clinic in the area.

Spirituality

On matters pertaining to spirituality, the knowledge of God and His son Jesus Christ is very low. There are no churches within the area. We move about 2 kilometer to reach the nearby church for prayers. I think it is high time that we reach them with the pure Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Water

The area does not have clean water for drinking. People are using the waters that are running or the stagnant waters for drinking. This is causing a lot of disease. Some of them wash their clothes in these waters and still drink the same waters.

Fistula

There are cases of fistula among women and girls in the area. When a woman is giving birth, it can result in a small tear in her bladder. The woman or girl is unable to control her urine. Oftentimes, these women become outcasts. however, various organizations have stepped in to help but still some of them are very poor to the extend that they reach hospitals where they can be treated from.

HIV/AIDS

There are many cases of HIV/AIDS in the area. This is normally a sexually transmitted disease. One acquires it through blood contact with an effected person. It’s not true that everyone who acquires it has ever got involved in such practices; some get it by sharing sharp instruments, in accidents and some medical workers can make these children affected by the disease

ACHIEVEMENTS OF HOPE ORPHANS CENTRE –IGANGA

EDUCATION

Education and termly school fees: Normally, the home has continuously provided proper education through sending the gathered children under our care to school as most of the children are in primary that have been supported in both government schools and others being sponsored to attend private school as well as educational scholastic materials. The Centre has continued to provide termly fees to children under our care without stopping. However, the challenge is that sometimes resources are not enough to cover up all the termly fees in time. Besides, the children move a long distance of 2 kilometers to reach the nearby school.

Continuous provision of scholastic materials. It is to our concern that every child deserves a right to access to scholastic materials to release his/her God- Given talent into good use. Normally, we have managed to continuously provide scholastic materials like books, pens and mathematical sets e.t.c before the beginning of every new term for the children to return back to school. The Centre has managed to provide a few school bags to some children under our care in addition to the scholastic materials. However, the challenge is that at the home, there is limited reading materials say holiday packages, text books and reading charts hence the thinking capacity of the children under our care as well as uplifting their performance to the top.

On the issue of playing materials; the home has managed to get a few play materials say dolls and balls though there is still limited / less materials for the children to use say netball, volley ball, chess, board games among others as the bible says let the little children enjoy while still young because when one grows, among things change.

BASIC NEEDS

Continuous provision of basic needs; The organization has continued to provide basic needs of life to the needy children and widows in the community since the Centre started up to date. These include toothpaste, soap, petroleum body jerry and among other items that are useful to the daily human life.

Continuous provision of clothing and shoes; As every after a term spent at school, the children at the home are provided with new clothing and shoes as those that they have been using get tone and cannot be repaired time after time unless replaced with new ones. The Centre has managed to provide 32 pairs of school shoes and 32 sandles to the needy children at home. We most times appeal to the good Samaritans with a giving heart to contribute the little they have to make this happen as this is now the biggest challenge at home amidst absence of enough funds to cater for the children’s clothing and shoes.

Continuous feeding of the children at the home: Normally on a daily basis, the home provides a well-spaced/balanced meal from breakfast, lunch to supper/ dinner) to the protected children under our care for a better health living. However, the challenge has been that, the home still lacks enough funds to purchase timely foodstuffs that are prepared at the home as sometimes meals are skipped to reach every child in the community.

Purchase of tables and chairs. The Centre has managed to acquire 5 plastic chairs and a big a big office counter and six benches that is being used by the children to have their meals in a comfortable environment. We thank God for what we have at the home even though we still need more tables and plastic chairs to cater for the available and ever increasing number of needy children that are being identified everyday within the community.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Community visits; The Centre has continuously visited community members especially the widows and single mothers as well as elderly people in a way of giving them hope and courage to live a happy life. This has been done in a way to provide relief help in terms of food stuffs, moral support among others.

Clean-up outreaches Normally, the home carries out communal work and gives back to the community through a sensitization program carried out by our team and the few volunteers at the home. This has contributed a positive change in the few homes that have been reached out too for example caring for the widows and elderly who are in the community where the home is being located as these are no longer in position to cater for their needs and cannot even wash for themselves since they have no one around them to care for them.

Identifying and registering new children. Normally, the children’s home management has continued to identify new orphans especially those in the alarming state who are mostly without caretakers or guardians these include Nabaigwa Sandra, Nkaire Souce Peter, Wanzige Reagan, and Nangobi Shanita. Despite of the challenges, we have managed to reach at least a quite a number of the children who need in different aspects of life as every child deserves the best in life and for a vast happy future.

LAND

The Centre has managed to purchase another piece of land on addition to the one acre that was purchased in 2018 in preparation for the expansion of the home that will be more spaced to cater for the children who are under our care and also the proposed projects for the organization. The land purchased stretches 95 fits in by 135 fits and it is located adjacent the organization. This land has been also used for agriculture as we prepare to construct new structures.

AGRICULTURE

Introduction of income generating projects

The Centre has managed to establish new projects to help in raising extra incomes that are used to cater/cover other expenditures that may be encountered in the due course and also to try achieving self sustainability. However, there have been a number of challenges faced while managing these projects.

These projects include;

Chicken project; The organization has managed to rear a few chickens which are local in breed. They are 159 in number with an aim of getting eggs for the children and also to generate income for the organization to meet the unexpected expanses and also needs of the children under our care. However, these birds are being attacked by diseases and some thieves who were threatening us, good enough we managed to get a security guard who is providing us with security during the night hours.

Vegetable growing; The Centre has established a small demonstration plot on the newly purchased land where different varieties are being grown on the piece of land as a way to add on food supply that is mostly purchased from the market. These vegetables ranges from egg plants, sukuma wiki and solnum that have been grown for the children’s balanced deity while at the home.

Tree planting; In response to climate change, the Centre has embarked on tree planting on the purchased land as a way to preserve the environment and the earth at large as climate change cases are so rampant all around the world. We believe that the trees planted especially the fruit trees will be of great use to the children as at the same time will be providing shades during seasons and wind breakers during rainy season.

Crop growing; Despite the little space we have for agriculture, the organization has managed to hire pieces of land and grow a number of crops. We hired two acres of land for four years and grew a few food and root crops say ground nuts, sweet potatoes, cassava and maize. However there is a challenge of unfavorable climatic conditions say drought which was experienced for some months. Under this period, crop growing goes to a standstill

CURRENT CHALLENGES FACED AT HOPE ORPHANS CENTRE-IGANGA

1. The organization has registered significant achievements amidst the many challenges it faces and not limited too;-

2. First and foremost, the children move a long distance of nearly 2 kilometers to reach the nearby school. This is a very long distance to moved by a child of three years to move every morning and evening. We are of the view to establish a foundation school such that the children under our care get education right from the centre.

3. There is limited reading and school materials for example holiday packages, monthly packages, books among others of the children under our care especially to those who are being sponsored to attend school.

4. Limited monthly necessities/ basic needs at the Centre is a challenge despite of the efforts being used to aid in the supply of basic needs of life

5. Insufficient medication at the Centre that is carried out on weekly and monthly basis but this has been limited due to absence of enough funds to cover the costs of both medical check-up and treatment.

6. Limited playing materials and playing uniforms for the protected children at the home for example absence of both netball and footballs for the children, game boards among others all to enhance the thinking capacity of these children.

7. Absence of land for expansion on farming and animal rearing

8. Inadequate funding to pay workers

9. Lacks of enough office stationary as well as office requirements say computer, bookshelf and other materials.

10. Absence of organization website to update on the ongoing organization projects.

11. There of prolonged drought that makes our crops sometimes to dry up while still in the garden immature.

12. Floods experienced at the end of the year which has destroyed everything and let us in misery.

OUR PLANS AND NEEDS BOTH LONG TERM AND SHORT TERM

Crop growing

We are of the view to hire five acres of land to grow more food and vegetables so as to ensure food security.

Establishing a foundation school (Hope Junior School)

This has been considered vital as an attempt to cut off the children under our care from moving a long distance of nearly 2 kilometers to reach the nearby school. For more about this, refer to the hope junior school proposal.

PROPOSAL FOR THE SCHOOL

HOPE JUNIOR SCHOOL

(Foundation school)

Finding an answer to ignorance, diseases and poverty in the needy Africa

GOAL: $14,592

To be spent in

Construction of buildings: $12,307

Licensing of the school: $857

Other facilities: $1,428

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Hope Junior School will be a foundation nursery and primary school located at Lubira village along Idudi-Busembatia road just 500 meters off the main road after Bumoozi Police Post in Buyanga Sub-County, Iganga District (Uganda) Africa.

In the area, the only school found nearby is located 2 kilometers far away from the orphanage. This is a long distance to be moved by a child of three years every day. This has made many poor children in the area to forget about education, on addition to that, the school doesn’t offer quality education as teachers are ever on strikes for low salary.

After an intensive research for guite a long period,the founders of Hope Orphans Centre-Iganga (HOCI), we so that there is a high need for high quality performance in education sector in Lubira parish and Buyende District at large. The education sector has really lacked people who are active in education that is why we had to come up with such an idea to develop the minds of the needy community.

For the beginning, Hope Junior School will start from nursery to primary four and we shall continue with the next class year after year. This is because we want to build a good and academically soundable foundation school in the region and Uganda at large.

Since God is head leadership, Hope Junior School is setup on church basis and we are of a view to have pastors teaching children the Christian faith.

Hope Junior School is setup to bring the education services near and also to offer free education to the needy community of Uganda.Many orphans in the area have failed to get education to to lack of school fees and facilities plus the long distances that they move to reach the nearby school, so to curb that, we had to start a better service provider that the community is lacking.
