Karambi Primary School is situated on the western border (with Congo) of Uganda. We have been supporting Karambi Primary for several years. When we have donors we will buy the 5 acres of land, then start the development of a new school.

Katalamwa Primary School is situated on the outskirts of Kampala. The school started in a small room in a house, and expanded. They were able to acquire 3 acres of land, on which they hope to build their new school.

Katonte Junior School is situated in the south of Uganda, near Jinja. The land has been donated by a local family. Due to the lack of schools in the area, and high levels of illiteracy, the family wanted to see a school in the area.

Lweeza Primary School is situated on a hill overlooking Lake Victoria. It is in a remote area of the Mokono district. The nearest town is Nenjeru (10km). The school owns 10 acres of land.

Palisa School, (situated in Palisa), shares a building with a local church. It looks more like an air raid shelter than a building for education. They have about 60 children, study in the church, and have three acres of land for future development. The school has been running for just over a year.

Abaana has been running a child sponsorship scheme now since 1997. We currently sponsor just over 900 children from Uganda, East Africa. Our sponsorship scheme works in Uganda in partnership with an Irish charity 'Fields of Life'.

One of our largest projects for 2008 is in the North of Uganda, in Gulu. For 20 years a war has raged between the government and rebel soldiers. The local people live in fear. The children know more about fighting than playing. Society has broken down. We want to help bring back hope...

A recent study claimed there were as many as 32 million children living on the streets in Africa. Children with no home to go to at the end of the day, no bed to lie in and no family to give them love. They rarely own more than the clothes on their back and each day they walk the streets begging or looking for work to survive. Lets turn things around for them...

"Life was difficult on the street; I would go out to bins and on roads looking for something to eat. On the street I would be sick all the time, but still could not go back home to be mistreated." Regan 10 years old and living on the street.

We have several locations for potential water projects in the Sembabule district in Uganda.

Mpata School was built in 2005, on 15 acres of land.. The land was cleared, but over the next few years we hope to develop it more and give the children more resources. (including clean water)

Medical drugs, bandages and equipment may be something we take for granted, but to a hospital in Africa, they are expensive. This means that often they have to charge too much for treatment and many people can't afford to pay.

When you get sick what do you do? We get a prescription for everything. A slight cold, or a sore back. One phone call, an appointment is set and we see the doctor within a few days. If we have a serious injury we have a 24hr casualty service within a 20 min drive. An ambulance can be with you within 10 minutes , but what do you do when you are in the middle of the bush? The nearest Doctor is twenty miles walk and serves over 15,000 people.
