Mission Statement:
The mission statement of ST. Stephens Childcare Organization “Uplifting the disadvantaged Children in Uganda" particularly the Orphanage.
Problem Statement:
Over the past years our country has lost lives and property due to:-
- Wide spread of HIV/AIDS pandemic this has caused more loss of lives.
- The rampart civil wars and other disasters enormous and well known worldwide.
These have created big number of orphans, disabled and destitute children living under extreme difficult situations, as a result many families have been disrupted and societies have disintegrated.
The government as well as Non- Government efforts, and churches, inspire of their intensity are facing an over whelming tasks in dealing with the problems caused by wars, AIDS and other disaster.
This is most especially in developing countries such as Uganda where poverty, Illiteracy, ignorance, and culturally large and extended families are rampant.
It has been noted that, after the death of parents and relatives, children suffer most and even end up falling out of schools.
As a result, they remain isolated without their next of kin and thus turn to idlers and thugs. It is the wish of this organization to take of such children and cater for their social welfare, healthcare, education and development. It is therefore necessary to set up activities which are designed to fully equip these children.
