INTRODUCTION:

World Light Caring Mission Initiative (WOLICAMI) is a Private Voluntary Organization. It is a Child Care and Community Development Services Oriented. It operates child care development programs in the districts of Kasese, Mbarara, Bushenyi, Kamwenge, Mukono, Wakiso, Tororo, Kampala, Luwero, Kayunga, Rukungiri, Mpigi, Masaka, Busia, Bugiri, Kamuli, Pallisa, Kabarole, Masindi, Katakwi, Kibale, Mubende, Jinja, Iganga, Nebbi, Kapchorwa, Mbale, Soroti, Kumi, Kiboga and Sironko.

The Organisation undertakes activities in the following areas: education, self help projects, construction of health centres, integrated community development schemes, supporting disadvantaged children, widows and the disabled, Micro finance, agriculture, advocacy for women and children, reproductive health and HIV/AIDS, men women and youth projects, environment, emergency relief and computer training.

BACKGROUND:

Kampala is a cosmopolitan community with diverse cultures attitudes, beliefs and these greatly influence the socio-economic inter-play of activities on families. This has been brought about by the inflow of large populations with low income, the resultant effect being people living in squalor. 90% of the population here live on petty income generating activities like provision of hard labour, retail trade, and working as support staff in the urban center.

There are both government-aided and private school in Kawempe division. The Schools are inadequate given the high population in the division. For the last 2 years there has been poor performance in the division due to poor learning environment, inadequate classrooms, poor sitting facilities, inadequate scholastic

Materials and inservice retraining of teachers. Apparently the schools available lack enough girl child friendly facilities i.e. sanitation and counseling services. Special Education programs to handle the education of different special interest groups like girl children, the disabled, children affected by HIV, and UPE are lacking. Poverty continues to bite the dwellers of Kawempe division. The average per capital income is below the desired national levels. Majority of the population are unemployed / under employed and their marginal propensity to save is low and therefore can’t start and sustain income generating activities.

Furthermore the folk can not access the needed capital to start IGAS due to luck of collateral cover. The institutional credit facilities are not within the access of the common man also due to inadequate mobilization.

The low income levels of household incomes have had a direct bearing on the nutrition status of children.

The families can ill afford two meals a day, let alone a balanced diet for the children. Inspite of the number of health facilities in the area, the social economic situation has greatly impacted on the population increasing the rate of HIV/AIDS infection.

According to the Uganda Demographic and health survey, the number of females infected is higher than that of males in the age group of 15-19, twice as high in the age group of 20-24 years in Kawempe division. To prevent the disease from spreading further, young and old people need to be aware of the virus, it’s effects and how to avoid it before the onset of sexual activity.

Those already affected by the virus lack adequate palliative care services. HIV/AIDS orphans are stigmatized and hardly cared for, and there is need to educate the HIV/AIDS affected families on succession planning.

BROAD OBJECTIVes:

MONITORING AND EVALUATION:

The programme will be monitored internally by the organizational monitoring officers.

A monitoring tool will be developed and used throughout the programme implementation, monitoring and implementation. The reporting frequency will be in line with the requirements of the funding source. However, on routine basis the organization will produce progress reports. It is expected that in the initial period monthly and on spot assessment interviews and reports based on activity, plans and schedules will form a large part of the monitoring process.

Quarterly and annual assessments will follow to form the basis of the monitoring. The evaluations will assess the programme in comparison to the objectives. This will be done by an external evaluation consultant at the end of the first year.

SUSTAINABILITY:

The project has been designed basing on the needs assessment done in the community, partner organizations and government in order to ensure that the needs of the community in the programme area are fully represented, and to create a triple down effect of ownership. All the above partners will also play an important role in the programme’s sustainability.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT:

The programme will be implemented in close collaboration with environmental agencies and is designed to preserve the environment.

GENDER ANALYSIS:

Both men and women as well as children will be actively involved in the implementation and monitoring of the program.
