CHILDREN’S PROGRAMS
BHU develops programs that impart love and instill hope among the future generation in Uganda. We aim to transform the limited circumstances of today’s vulnerable, abandoned and disabled children in Uganda into ones of opportunity and hope. We want to give children and young people a voice and childhood through supporting their education and creating firm foundations for young people and families living in precarious conditions
SKILLS TRAINING AND LIVELIHOOD
To break cycles of poverty and dependency, we recognize the interconnected needs of vulnerable communities and take a holistic approach to build pathways out of poverty. We believe in empowering the locals; women and youths to drive economic and social growth of their own communities through social enterprises that promote education, health and economic development (skills training and job creation)
THE ELDERLY AID PROGRAM
Many older people in Uganda struggle to bring in are liable income and are vulnerable to living in poverty. Many live in chronic ill health or have disabilities that limit their ability to lead independent lives and participate in their local communities. Yet countless older people have the responsibility of caring for orphaned grandchildren who have lost their parents to AIDS or other diseases. BHU works with different volunteers and partners to improve health services for older people, and support them with socio-economic aid and welfare items
CLEAN WATER PROJECT
In many communities, drinking a sip of water can be extremely hazardous and even deadly. Sadly, many people in vulnerable communities in Uganda have no choice but to get their water in contaminated streams or pond. Contamination that cause countless children to die needlessly from diarrhea and typhoid. Through your support, BHU WASH programs (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) improve access to and the quality and reliability of clean water through drilling water wells, rain collection systems, water filtration and chlorination. In many communities, young girls sacrifice their education to carry water but with these wells not only shorten the distance to clean water, but also free up time so they can attend school. Through your support you are giving families, villages and communities access to clean drinking water, which help to reduce water-borne illness, improve their quality of life and provide better economic and educational opportunities
MEDICAL CARE PROGRAM
In Uganda, many vulnerable people are suffering from medical conditions that could be helped with medical care. Too many of them they can’t afford the surgeries they need. Through your support BHU partners with other pharmaceutical companies and local hospitals to maximize our ability to provide medicine, care and treatment that patients from poor and very remote communities need. Your support also allows BHU to train Community Health Volunteers to serve as affront line health promoters in remote villages where medical care is hard to reach, bringing vital help and inform to those In need. In poor, rural communities these volunteers can provide lifesaving basic care and health education to locals for injuries, illness, pregnancy and more.
