Salah Ud Din Charity Foundation began in 2021 as a small outreach foundation operating in Bukedea town.

Under-age marriages and teenage pregnanciesDisabled & Orphan ChildrenDomestic violenceHIV/AIDS pandemicChild abuse.School dropouts.

We support poverty eradication programs, widows, and empowerment of women, programs for the disabled, Sanitation and Health sensitization, among many others.

The major objective of the charity organization/ Foundation is to Empower the next generation through provision of quality education and mentorship, providing essential needs to the underprivileged children, Widows, elderly people, Teenage mothers, school dropout and those at risk of dropping out of school . We aim to provide these services for the underprivileged children in the children’s home (Love Uganda Foundation Orphanage) and around the community, providing food to the Elderly people, Vocational skilling the widows, teenage mothers, school dropouts and providing counselling & providing sponsorships for those at risk of dropping out of school.

To construct infrastructure that matches with the growing needs of Salah Ud din charity Foundation Orphanage as a reputable Children center in Uganda.To obtain resources to support the mission and realize a reasonable benefit for the key stakeholder.To network with Agencies/NGOs working with orphans, Needy, Vulnerable and Disabled children among others for mutual benefits and referral support.To create awareness among children and communities in matters concerning children’s health issues like home hygiene, water source maintenance, training members in all preventive measures concerning health related problems in schools and communities.

Over the past decade, the number of orphans and vulnerable children living in Uganda has been escalating at an alarming rate. In 2004, the number of orphans was estimated to be 1.8 million; in 2009 that number had grown to nearly 2.6 million. Over one million of those children have lost their parents to HIV/AIDS-related complications and suffer the following problems that challenged us to start up a stretching hand to the orphans, vulnerable and needy children in Uganda:

Extreme Poverty:

Many of these children are deprived of their basic needs due to high levels of poverty. Nearly half of the population lives below the poverty line, out of which 19% are children. Uganda’s rural areas in particular struggle with a very high poverty rate

Caretaking:

After their parents die or become disabled by illness, orphans and vulnerable children as young as five years old become both mother and father to their younger siblings. Those whose parents suffer from HIV/AIDS face an additional burden of care as complications develop and worsen over time. Children are forced to drop out of school as they try and provide necessities for their siblings.

Unfair wages:

Orphans have to find work wherever they can due to their lack of education and resources: laboring in fields, tending cattle, carrying water, or other back-breaking tasks. When they can find work, orphans are often paid unfair wages because they have no alternative but to accept whatever is given. When there is no work, they must beg for or steal food to ward off starvation. Survival becomes a daily struggle.

Exploitation:

Living in extreme poverty without the support of their parents, orphans are vulnerable to additional kinds of exploitation. Neighbors and occasionally relatives can take advantage of them because they know that there is no longer an adult to enforce the children’s property rights. Orphans are also vulnerable to physical abuse. These children are beaten and sometimes mutilated after they are driven by hunger to steal small amounts of food to eat. Girls are subject to sexual exploitation when they face the hard choice of selling their bodies for food or watching their families go hungry.

Isolation:

Many of these children live in communities where there are widespread misconceptions about the causes of HIV/AIDS. After their parents die from HIV/AIDS-related complications, they are shunned by neighbors and community members for fear of catching the disease. Orphans find themselves isolated within their communities, surrounded by those who are unwilling or unable to reach out to them.

It was while facing these serious issues that Salah UD DIN Charity Foundation was formed.

Core competencies:

We believe that every one of our children must be exposed to at least six core competencies that we consider necessary to excel in this world today:

Ethics and integrityEntrepreneurshipSpiritual developmentICTEnvironmental LiteracyTalent development.

As we embark on Salah UD DIN Charity Foundation becoming a first-class Charity center, it will be our commitment to provide these core competencies to all those who will emerge from it.

Child advocacy and community outreach.

This covers all interventions to empower children in especially difficult circumstances. It aims at encouraging commitment and action from the community to empower children / young people.

We will work towards implementing:

Counselling, child recovery, and reunification with their familiesAdvocacy for children through media coverageChild care and protectionSkills development for young peopleMaternal and child health careParental education on good child careTeaching parental skills, parental guidance, encouraging parental literacy, and cultural identityEquipment for children’s activitiesMonitoring and evaluation of the aboveOur current status.

There is also rooms for the caretakers/staff and volunteers located outside and the washrooms, pit-latrines and a spacious compound where our children get an opportunity to play and exercise their skills.
