Supporting Health care, education and livelihood in Uganda.
Close the Gap has supported the Fraternity of the Vulnerable (FOV) Uganda with ICT material. This organization is mainly aiming to alleviate poverty in the country, with the goal of improving the social-economic status of communities by promoting healthcare and education.
More concretely, this humanitarian organization wants to provide vulnerable women and children with the opportunities and abilities to support themselves and access basic services. They have three pillars through which they want to do so:
- Health care through the building of a health center
- Education through an adult literacy program and education for orphaned children
- Livelihood: this focuses on savings, nutrition, entrepreneurship, water and sanitation, and female leadership (such as family planning).
We were happy to provide a number of computers for the head office of FOV Uganda in Kampala. With these computers, the organization will be able to continue their hard work and to improve the effectiveness of their efforts in empowering vulnerable women and children.
