授权和关怀组织- eaco

授权与关怀组织(EACO)于2004年在社区层面成立，并于2006年注册为社区组织(CBO)(注册号MG/2006/10/294)。该组织的成立是为了解决穆科诺县弱势妇女和儿童群体的教育和经济机会有限的问题。东非合作组织的愿景是，通过实施提供这些机会的活动，它将有助于减少穆科诺社区的贫困和艾滋病毒/艾滋病。EACO为其合作的社区提供的服务和对社区的贡献:职业和生活技能培训:针对弱势妇女，特别是寡妇和艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者、老年妇女和照顾儿童的祖母。该项目旨在通过提供创业培训和个性化指导、小企业营销技术、小额信贷以及创收活动(IGAs)的实施，解决这些弱势群体缺乏经济机会的问题，创收活动包括:农业、蔬菜种植、咖啡种植、养牛、养蜂、养鸡、养猪场、蘑菇种植、剪裁和设计、艺术和手工艺、美发和造型。为边缘人群重拾希望:该项目针对的是祖母、孤儿和与祖母同住的弱势儿童。主要活动包括:宣传艾滋病毒/艾滋病;向残疾儿童提供学习资料和学校午餐;根据需要，通过赞助来“补足”学费。性健康/生殖健康:该方案主要侧重于与艾滋病毒/艾滋病、性传播疾病、计划生育和生活技能规划有关的咨询和指导、教育培训和社区外展。 In order to implement this program, EACO works with HOPACAM at Mukono Health Center to administer free voluntary counseling and testing for HIV/AIDS and other STDs and provides HIV+ individuals with ARV's. EACO volunteers then make regular home visits to those who have tested positive in order to supply them with foodstuffs that have been donated to EACO. Through this program, EACO regularly visits 50 HIV+ individuals in the community and provides them with donated foodstuffs so they are able to consume nutritious foods that will help them to stay healthy and strong. Water and Sanitation: With this programme, EACO looks at the health, water, and sanitation of the community. Here EACO has managed to put up four boreholes for the community of Namanganga, Kasala, Kyabakade and Lugali village all in Kyampisi sub county in Mukono District as well as building a latrine for one of the elderly. We all know how access to clean and safe water with increased sanitation will improve the lives of each individual so we involve more women and children.
