ChangeALife Uganda is dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged children & their families in Uganda through quality education, healthcare & income generating programs. CALU supports educational sponsorships, income-generating activities & access to medical care to enable children & their families to improve their futures. Education is the cornerstone of our mission: We provide education for children through school-based programs. We also reach out to their families to help them become self-sufficient through income-generating projects and access to quality healthcare. For the semi-urban village of Nabbingo and rural Migyera, our multi-pronged approach is already becoming a model of excellence.Over the last four years, CAL Uganda's programs have increased school enrollment, school attendance, and graduation rates for children in Migyera & has increased the number of university educated teachers at the St. Lawrence School. A program called Bucks For Beds provides dormitory space for up to 80 female & 80 male students who are orphaned, live far from school, or have difficult family situations, providing the students with a safe place to sleep, receive meals, and obtain academic support.The goal of ChangeALife Uganda's healthcare program is to provide an opportunity for children & their families to access better health services including clean water, maternal & child health care, general pediatric and adult healthcare, HIV, TB & malaria treatment in Migyera & Nabbingo.
