PROJECTS
EDUCATION
Under ECAFUg's Education programming component, we are focused on providing opportunities for Kampala's slum children to access good-quality, formal education. ECAFUg Educational Sector Bwaise is designed to provide sponsorships to decent education to orphans and other vulnerable children, including those affected and infected by HIV/AIDS as we are yet to establish a school of our own in the near future.
Through the committed team at ECAFUg, we have been able to fundraise for the rebuild of a community Skilling school in Bwaise. We have rented land on which the school is established and we also have ready classes of Computer lessons, Sewing, Motor Mechanics. We have managed to enroll a number of people to benefit from this project and also have access to quality skilling in a safe space. However, there is need to expand thisproject to enable children have access to education. Reach us to be part of this noble cause.

ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
ECAFUg's Youth economic empowerment programing provides employable skills, incentives, mentorship and connections that enable disadvantaged youth in Kampala's slums to transit from lives of crime and poverty to lives of productive occupation.
As part of the program, youth and women are equipped with vocational skills, entrepreneurial skills, financial literacy, soft and hard skills for career and professional development (How to Make it in the Contemporary Business World) and they Youth take on one month internships at the end of the training to expose them to working environments.
In addition, ECAFUg also provides IT Training to the youth on how to strategically use ICT (including internet, social media, Web 2.0 and mobile technology) to market and sustain their business ventures.

HEALTH PROGRAM
Slum communities have been hubs of diseases caused by poor sanitation, limited access to sexual and reproductive health and moral decay. This programme has been set up in response to the glaring health-related challenges young people are confronted with regarding their sexuality. It's a programme designed to ensure that young people access sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information and care services, including family planning and education. The programme promotes better health and tries to make sure that policy makers and other partners are responsive to the unique health needs of young people living in Kampala's poorest slums.
