Over 80% of the children in Rubaga sub-County in Kampala District,Uganda are unable to go to school yet they have interest and they are well informed about the values of education.

It has not been their own decision making or liking but it is due to the death of their parents, poverty that is biting their families and some times even the guardians. Most of them  died of HIV/AIDS, leaving thousands of orphans without meaningful means of survival because all their past savings has been spent on feeding and treatment so as to live a long life.

Despite government’s effort to enable every body access education through introducing the Universal Primary Education (UPE) some children in Rubaga Sub-County have failed to continue with education. This is because they can’t afford, scholastic materials, feeding and other school requirements such as uniforms and accommodation. Even at secondary level much as the government has tried all it can to introduce the Universal Secondary Education (USE), still some orphans and needy are unable to go to school, like their counter parts at the Primary level they can’t afford the basic necessities of life. Therefore, they lack scholastic materials, accommodation, food, medical care and many others. However, they have dropped out of school.

Smiling child Ministries Uganda was formed to take care of those categories of children so as to restore hope into them. It has identified these children and registered them as needy scheme aimed at providing the necessary assistance to the Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC).

On top of that, it has registered 200 (Two hundred) orphans and Vulnerable children. However, Smiling child Ministries - Uganda does not aim at challenging government program but to supplement on government’s effort of helping orphans and Vulnerable Children and the needy of which Rubaga sub County is part. And is working hand in hand with other Non-government organizations (NGOs) to sort out those problems of children orphaned by HIV/AIDS, People Living With Aids (PLWAS) and in other disadvantaged/Vulnerable groups in the communities whose conditions of living have worsened especially in Rubaga sub County. Through commitment, devotion and determination, the Organization will be able to raise funds especially from friends and Partners,churches, and the members of the Organization hence supporting the orphans and vulnerable children in the society.
