Elderly Widows Orphans Family Support (EWOFS), Uganda

Biography

I hold degree in Social Work and Social Administration, work with the Elderly Widows Orphans Family Support as an Organization Director for two years. I secured legal registration of the organization as a Community Based Organization and got 20 children: 11girls and 9boys individual education sponsors. Introduced several programs that support orphans such as community counselors who follow up children at home to provide them with emotional support. School drama clubs which sensitize children about HIV/AIDS, football competitions during public holidays that bring youth together for entertainment ad talent development. I also introduced income generating projects for the orphans and child headed households like cattle keeping. These have helped children earn extra income to meet daily home expenses. Practiced in HIV/AIDS field for over 10 years now and gained more knowledge and skills that I would like to share with others. Also, am a person who likes to learn from others: and hope the knowledge that I will have acquired in the conference will be shared back in my community for improvement of our services. I advocated for the rights of People Living with HIV/AIDS, especially orphans affected and infected with HIV/AIDS. This is done by availing them services they need such as education which I secure through writing their biography and sharing it with friends who in the end accept to support them.
