Finding Their Happiness
Character First Initiative Uganda (CFIU) recognizes that there is a need to help an abundance of children that are orphaned, from households where the parents are drug and alcohol abusers, and those that are victimized by domestic violence/child abuse.
​
We envision a safe place for those mentioned above. By constructing a children’s revival home for those victimized, it can act as a rehabilitation center and provides the basic necessities to assisting them through these hard times.
Making a Difference
Due to lack of finances, we started by taking baby steps towards a brighter future by using activities to:
​
- Sensitize the community of the dangers of using narcotics
- Engaging in campaigns for no violence against children
- Holding community talks to the parents and other community members to raise awareness
- Providing counselling and guidance to drug abusers and alcoholics
- Advocating for legal interventions by working with law enforcers and other governing bodies.
​
To obtain funds to make this happen, we held fundraisers in an attempt to provide school materials and other necessities to the vulnerable children who found themselves in these circumstances.
