Child care program

DCU delivers efficient community-based services to thousands of people living in IDP Camps. The scholarship program through Friends has enabled over 5 of the underprivileged of Ugandan children attain education. Family empowerment projects have also been established to enable families of the sponsored children to undertake income-generating activities to improve on their income levels.

What can be done?

To get more children into school, Mr. Peter Illes has helped support Tracy. Tracy lives in the village of Pece, Gulu Municipality with her only grandmother. Mr. Peter decided he could support best by helping care for Tracy and the grand mother on a monthly basis. There many other helpless children in her community without food, good shelter and education. help one child to have a good home, food, scholastic materials and good tap water in order to have good health and clean environment. "Some of them just lose hope," "They start to think they have nothing to live for when they lose their parents."

It doesn't cost much to keep girls like Tracy in school: $200 buys a child's required uniforms, clothes, mattress blanket, and a pair of bed sheets, a pair of shoes plus socks, books and school fees for a start of school in Uganda. Contributions from Mrs. Debbie Miles and family have helped educate, sustain and maintain 2 children and their families in Keyo IDP camp.There are many opportunities to help, support and above all donate whether it be money or in kind.
