+Kibaale Children's Centre *kcc* *Kibaale* *charity*
+
+Kibaale Children's Centre (KCC) is located in Kibaale, a small town in the
+south of Uganda, near Tanzania, in East Africa. The area is known as Rakai
+District. The population is mostly farmers. Although people are poor, there
+is enough food. But this district is suffering from AIDS more than any other
+part of the world. Some say that it started there. Estimations are that 10
+to 30% of the Ugandans are infected with HIV. Because parents die, there are
+many orphans. In this district about 60,000 children have lost one or both
+parents, out of a population of 350,000. And this is still continuing.
+
+The children need a lot of help. The KCC is working hard to provide the needy
+with food, medical care and education. Food and medical care to keep them
+healthy now, and education so that they can take care of themselves in the
+future. KCC works on a Christian base, but help is given to children of any
+religion.
+
+The key to solving the problems in this area is education. This has been
+neglected in the past years with president Idi Amin and the following civil
+wars. Now that the government is stable again, the children and parents have
+to learn how to take care of themselves and how to avoid infections. There is
+also help for people who are ill and hungry, but the primary goal is to
+prevent people from getting ill and to teach them how to grow healthy food.
+
+Most of the orphans are living in an extended family. An uncle or older
+sister is taking care of them. Because these families are big and the income
+(if any) is low, a child is lucky if it gets healthy food. Clothes, medical
+care and schooling is beyond its reach. To help these needy children, a
+sponsorship program was put into place. A child can be financially adopted.
+For a few dollars a month KCC sees to it that the child gets indispensable
+items, is healthy, goes to school and KCC takes care of anything else that
+needs to be done for the child and the family that supports it.
+
+Besides helping the child directly, the environment where the child grows up
+needs to be improved. KCC helps schools to improve their teaching methods.
+There is a demonstration school at the centre and teacher trainings are given.
+Health workers are being trained, hygiene education is carried out and
+households are stimulated to build a proper latrine. I helped setting up a
+production site for cement slabs. These are used to build a good latrine.
+They are sold below cost price.
+
+There is a small clinic at the project, which provides children and their
+family with medical help. When needed, transport to a hospital is offered.
+Immunization programs are carried out and help is provided when an epidemic is
+breaking out (measles and cholera have been a problem).
+ *donate*
+Summer 1994 to summer 1995 I spent a whole year at the centre, working as a
+volunteer. I have helped to expand the centre and worked in the area of water
+and sanitation. I learned that the help that the KCC provides really helps.
+When I came back to Holland, I wanted to continue supporting KCC. To do this
+I'm raising funds and organizing the sponsorship program. Please consider one
+of these possibilities:
+
+1. Sponsor a child in primary school: 17 euro a month (or more).
+2. Sponsor a child in secondary school: 25 euro a month (or more).
+3. Sponsor the clinic: Any amount a month or quarter
+4. A one-time donation
+
+Compared with other organizations that do child sponsorship the amounts are
+very low. This is because the money goes directly to the centre. Less than
+5% is used for administration. This is possible because this is a small
+organization that works with volunteers. If you would like to sponsor a
+child, you should have the intention to do this for at least one year.
+
+How do you know that the money will be spent right? First of all you have my
+personal guarantee as the author of Vim. I trust the people that are working
+at the centre, I know them personally. Further more, the centre is
+co-sponsored and inspected by World Vision, Save the Children Fund and
+International Child Care Fund. The centre is visited about once a year to
+check the progress (at our own cost). I have visited the centre myself in
+1996, 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2003. The visit reports are on the ICCF web site.
+
+If you have any further questions, send me e-mail: <Bram@vim.org>.
