our churches are based from rural setting communities and we have been for many years seeing our youths ending their studies in only primary schools and when it comes to secondary they most of them they do not go due to schools being in distances of 20-30 kilometers and many secondary schools are in urban areas which makes them very costly in terms of living expenses and even the school fees itself .
Therefore , we have come in with a solution of developing a senior secondary school for the helping the disadvataged youths to access that level of education .
the details are here attached and iam appealing to everybody who comes cross this information to recommend us to his friend and help us also to fund raise for the school.

Beroya Senior Secondary Construction Program
1. BEROYA SENIOR SECONDARY CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM
Introduction :
Having realized the challenges and difficult of the youths go through, we decided to
embark on looking for ways and means of combating the alarming situation in our
local churches and communities under Beroya Gospel Fellowship organization by
setting up a senior secondary school to create opportunity for our poor family
members who miss to take their youth children for further education .
ORGANIZATION INFORMATION
Background
Beroya senior secondary school construction program is a voluntary
CHURCH/Community Based program initiated by the church (Beroya Gospel Fellowship)
which is a registered church as NGO under a registration number S.5914/1085.
The program is focusing its major activities on caring for the youths who are vulnerable to
HIV/AIDS (infected and affected) in the local communities. Secondary school idea was
initiated in 2007 after a long analysis of our country’s ever increasing rate of infection
particularly of youths with HIV/AIDS. The organization started its operations in the district
of Jinja but has now extended its services to KAMULI and NAMUTUMBA districts with
its Head office located at Bugembe-Jinja town.
In 2001 after realizing the effect of the economic status of families on the lives of affected
youths, the organization introduced a program of supporting Grandmothers, widows and
single mothers before, who are nurturing the orphans of their late off springs, husbands and
relatives. The organization is so far operating under a family fostering net work of 750
families. Other youths miss the education due to the distance of the school and even to the
high payments of the school fees in urban areas because all good senior secondary schools
are found in towns.
TARGET GROUP:
Beroya Senior secondary school has centered its concern on the youths who finishes their
primary level and has no where to go to their poverty in their families and also due to the
HIV/AIDS Scourge that heated their parents. we targeting youths of 15-20 years of age
that are living in poor families and the mothers, widows and single mothers who are taking
care of them with out enough support .
The organization is currently reaching out to 20 local churches that have this idea as the
challenge to their poor members, that we deserve the opportunity of educating their youths
to reach a level of being responsible in the coming society/new generation.
2. VISION:
Our vision is to create an environment where vulnerable youths and those living with HIV/
AIDS realize their full potential in communities that respect youth’s rights, acknowledge
their contributions and ensure a secure and enjoyable youth age time that supports their
development.
MISSION:
We strives to fight for the realization that HIV/AIDS affected youths have the rights to
survival, protection and education in order to create a sustainable change in their lives and
status by enabling the families where these children stay to spiritually and socially
function.
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Since 1980s HIV/AIDS has been a deadly epidemic in Africa and Uganda in particular,
many energetic people have lost their lives leaving very many orphans – in numerous cases
- under the care of their Grandmothers, widows and single mothers. The rate of infection
had become increasingly high by the 1990s, but no means had been derived to control the
transmission of the virus. This phenomenon caused many children to get infected through
mother to child transmission and the youths by then got infected because there was no
study and many died.
The Uganda Population and Housing census of 2002 revealed a population of 11 million
children; 35% are vulnerable children that are 3.8 million vulnerable children due to
various factors like poverty, broken homes, single mothers, unplanned births, insurgency,
natural calamities and diseases most commonly, HIV/AIDS, malaria (upper respiratory
infection ) URI.
The Ministry of Gender, Labour and Community development in the same year revealed a
total of 1.7 million orphans, 75% are under the care of their Grandparents and yet these
Grandparents are no longer functional in that, they do not have all that energy to do heavy
work that can enable them generate income.
There are a number of Non-Government Organizations taking care of Orphaned children in
Uganda but without particular concern for the Grandmothers, widows and single mothers
who are taking care of these orphaned children.
In our simple survey carried out by the church leaders/staff early in 2006 in the target
area, it was discovered that of the 263 households, 109 house holds are headed by
Grandmothers. These Grandmothers are all peasants growing food using traditional
3. methods for home consumption, which therefore earns them little surplus to take to
markets. The average daily income of these families is less than 1 dollar. The existence of
these Grandmothers and Orphans living with HIV/AIDS in rural settings is not known by
the stake holders.
Very little attention is given to these families, they face stigma and segregation, and their
rights are completely denied. The challenges these families face are; lack of sufficient
medical care, poor nutrition and lack of education for the children though the U.P.E
program which still inefficient in terms of poor quality of education, scholastic materials,
Uniform and no good meals at school as in addition the social stigma of having been
infected with HIVAIDS. The youths are now too much for them.
The Government has put same parameters in place to care for vulnerable people but the aid
in most cases is misappropriated by unconcerned Government officials - take for example
the Global Fund. As a result, the affected orphans in local communities are not accessing
services such as medical care, antiretroviral treatment, testing and counseling. This crisis
calls for good Samaritans who can take the trouble to identify such families and enable
them to access required services.
It therefore became the concern of the founders of Beroya gospel fellowship
to set up a program this particular program geared specifically at supporting Grandmothers,
widows single mothers and their orphans in our local communities. Beroya is pleased to
report that there have been some successful cases of Grandmothers who are now functional
as a result of our effort.
