Our Commitment
We are committed to helping the vulnerable elderly living in very poor conditions in our communities. We promote sustainable livelihood of the elderly in our communities by providing them social psychological support and offering them basic necessities of life including but not limited to food, shelter, toiletries, healthy services, physical exercises and medical care.
We also deal with the youth and our intervention is basically in job creation and sustenance. We establish, promote, encourage and also support youth initiatives in finding jobs and employment through promoting skills and talents. We want to encourage the youth to make use of their potentials to start up employment here in Uganda without opting to migrate to Europe, Asia or other Western countries to look for employment.
We have managed to advocate for better infrastructure and sanitation facilities in some of our community schools.
Volunteers & Funders
Volunteers: Volunteers are a key resource in promoting CAU’s cause. They are key in providing technical expertise, information to the public, in reaching out to the target groups, working with other volunteers and partners; motivating others to get involved and keeping active records. They also give career guidance and instilling skills in our youth.
Funders: Play a crucial role in helping CAU to access resources necessary to run her activities meant to improve the productivity, well- being and health of the elderly and the youth. The financial support is critical to sustain the organization capacity and resources to undertake CAU’s core business. We are committed to strong financial management and accountability systems and controls to ensure effective and efficient use of funds.
Source Of Our Funds
Our plans are ambitious and to achieve them, we will need to have an equally ambitious strategy of collecting funds from various interested persons both domestic and foreign. A significant proportion of our resources have been gotten from donations and contributions, from people of good will and from our own savings.
These members of the community have been supporting us both financially and physically after we explained to them the challenges facing the elderly and the youth. However, uncertain economic times especially brought about by global coronavirus pandemic have greatly impacted on our ability to raise funds.
However we need more help in form of donations, grants, loans and technical assistance to implement our goals.
We will implement a comprehensive fundraising strategy that includes reaching out to organizations and trustees, foundations, cooperate bodies together with individuals of good will who recognize the integral role our initiative plays in providing a better life for the young and the aging members of our community.
