Shelter a Vulnerable Child

Hello! My name is Andrew, and I'm fundraising for Artistic Charity Organization, because I believe strongly in their work and in our ability to help them broaden it.

In the words of their Founder:

Artistic Charity Organization is a legally registered nonprofit organization centered in Kampala, Uganda, East Africa. The organization restores hope among vulnerable children, youth, families and communities through identifying creative talents, nurturing, educating and encouraging the promotion of skills that innovate, and help in alleviating ignorance and poverty, while enhancing livelihoods in Uganda.

In our work, we realized that many children in Uganda, East Africa lack a loving and stable home environment, and they are suffering on the streets of Kampala city having no access to food, education and healthcare. We came up with an idea to help them by renting a building as a temporary accommodation/foster home for them. The organization has so far rescued 37 kids from the streets of Kampala city. However, the need has grown to an extent where the available shelter isn’t enough to accommodate the homeless kids that we work with every day! Currently the Organization is accommodating 37 kids. Establishing a foster home will enable us expand our support to accommodate more needy children (About 150 kids) and save us from monthly rent expenses since we shall not be renting anymore!

We are kindly seeking your support. Supporting this project means giving these children a chance at a better life, ensuring their well-being, education, and emotional development.

Establishing a foster home is a crucial initiative to provide a safe and nurturing environment for orphaned and vulnerable children. It aims to offer them stability, care, and opportunities for a brighter future.

There are numerous activities happening at our faciliity on a daily basis! These include:

Juggling, Acrobatics, Gymnastics, Circus, Tambling, Parkour, Visual Poetry, Music, Dance,

Drama, Pottery, Skating, Crafts, Crocheting and Fine Art.

OTHER PROGRAMS YOUR DONATION WILL SPONSOR IF WE MEET OUR GOAL:

Sponsor A Child

As the saying goes, education is the key to success. When a child gets good education then the doors for a better future are open. Most of the children mostly in underprivileged families are struggling to attend or go to school. They can’t afford not only school fees but also scholastic materials and apart from that not even a school uniform which is a school requirement. In our project campaign of EDUCATE A CHILD we are raising awareness, collecting funds for their education fees. We are seeking donors and funders through different means that include scholarships, bursaries, and direct sponsorship of a child to mention but a few. Among the 125 children in our organization, seventy plus children are in dire need of education help. We are calling you upon, to help us to take these children to school through different ways of contributions.

Girl Child Sanitary Wear

In our organization we have a number of adolescent girls who are disadvantaged to meet their needs as girls. With all discomfort they find at school in their menstrual period times they end up skipping days of school during these moments. We are currently running a project campaign calling upon all concerned well-wishers, funders, donors to help us raise funds or be it in material items so that we stock up sanitary pads to provide to these girls on a timely period basis.

Feed A Child

We are currently in need of individuals, companies, organizations and groups willing to offer food support to our organization on monthly basis. There is a big difference in the lives of these of these underprivileged where they can’t go a day minus missing a meal.

We provide every member with a daily meal and fresh filtered water to nourish our young people’s bodies and minds so that we can ensure they are healthy in all aspects of human life.

Shelter A Child

Many children in Uganda are sleeping on streets because they are homeless due to un avoids circumstances such as being orphaned, being on rampage running away from home violence and mistreatment plus many refugees without any family support. We have been in touch with many organizations and charities to help us move these children off the street unfortunately the response are very slow. We have not yet received a positive actionable reaction from venous groups we have contacted but still we will keep on pushing until we make it, In the near future we plan to build a spacious foster home where we can permanently accommodate these children. We are apparently hiring a temporary building where fractures are hostels where children get free shelter for a stipulated time.

Clothe A Child

Many children in Uganda can’t afford a single shirt or dress in two year and they end up moving around in cut-up rugs. Do you know what this means to a child loss of self-esteem, stigma and loss of self-confidence? These kids end up in wrong schemes ending up in danger and bad behaviors yet they feel they want to look better like other children they meet across. We decided to lobby for well-wishers to donate old or new clothes so that we can provide for the needy children. On a good point it has not been a flawless campaign as many individuals have managed to donate to the cause of our project however the need is still very high and rises each and every day.

Help A Child

We noticed that whenever we went for community home visiting only to find out that a lot of families have children with disabilities. Most families in communities of Kampala city suburbs and the entire Uganda at large are low income earners with children with disabilities. Some of these children are kids with special needs whereas others are children with birth defects while others face mental illness as they grow up. These children most of them are not supported by their families due to financial restraints, while others are neglected because family members lack knowledge of how to take care of them. We are currently having fifteen children that need urgent treatment and special care. We are always looking for financial support to take these children for treatment and the children with

special needs need special care and life support utilities.

Groom A Talent

We find new talents almost every day from different communities in Uganda. These talents need to be developed and exposed to the World in order to create opportunities and open doors. We are currently in need of donors for this program, we need juggling props, music instruments, costumes and skills. We host practices everyday for our talented children to have fun as well as learning and enjoying being kids.
