Ask any visitor to Nyaka - smiles are contagious!

Uganda's AIDS epidemic has resulted in 2.2 million children who have lost one or both parents, out of a population of just over 30 million. Due to a lack of government-subsidized education, extended families and orphanages face an enormous financial barrier to educating Uganda's children.

Nyaka is a haven of hope in a country ravaged by extreme poverty and disease. With 307 orphans attending two schools, Nyaka is helping to provide much needed services to AIDS orphans in rural, southwestern Uganda through the following initiatives:

• The Nyaka School
• The Kutamba School
• Grannies (Mukaka) Project
• Nutrition and Community Gardens Program
• Health and Physical Education Program
• The Blue Lupin Community Library
• The Farm and Vocational Training Program
• Community HIV/AIDS Education and Sensitization Programs
• Clean Gravity-Fed Water System
• Volunteer Program
• Microfinance Project
