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:
Microfinance Project
Nutrition and Community Gardens Program
Primary Education Program
Vocational Training Program
Community AIDS Education and Outreach Program
Health and Physical Education Program
Clean Gravity Water System
Volunteer Program
Grannies (Mukaka) Project
Religious Studies Program
