We aim to contribute to the objectives of the Ugandan Government and the USAID Strategy through a mix of activities aimed at enhancing the capacities of vulnerable children households to produce and use foodstuff, as well as household knowledge and behavior with regard to nutritional practices and services

We facilitate access to HIV counseling and testing as prevention approach as well as promoting early access to the life-saving treatment by actively liking identified HIV positive patients into care and organize workshops to empower grassroots people to transform the conditions that have perpetuated HIV/AIDS
