Destination Info

NYAKA AIDS FOUNDATION

Nyaka AIDS Orphan Foundation provides aid to orphans in southwestern Uganda through a focus on education and health. Due to the HIV/AIDS pandemic, in Uganda alone, there are over 2.2 million orphans who have lost either one or both parents. These children lack many of the basic human needs, and thus the Project works in rural Uganda to end the resulting systemic deprivation, poverty and hunger.

NAOP utilizes a holistic and sustainable community-based approach with an emphasis on the role of grandmothers. In the two primary schools run by NAOP, 471 children are receiving education this year. Additionally, NAOP is currently funding education for 133 students in secondary school and 8 in vocational training.

Beyond providing a quality education in a nurturing environment, the Project also includes two meals per day, uniforms, medical care, and school supplies to the students. NAOP also serves over 7,000 grandmothers collectively raising 43,000 orphans by providing training in practical life skills such as parenting, grief management, gardening, nursing, leadership, and business development.
