Working with orphans, vulnerable children and widows is a concerted effort which needs a lot of ideas and many hands to be put together. The orphans’ problem does not belong to only people with orphans it’s every body’s problem.
Throughout Africa, thousands of community based organizations are trying to addressing the growing needs of orphans and families made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS, these organizations are strengthening the traditional safety-net of the extended families through a range of vital programs and services often operating with minimal funding and with a great deal of volunteers support. Community-based groups are the frontlines responses to the needs of children affected by AIDS.
Many people have realized that it’s not only the duty of the church to reveal the father’s heart to the orphans and widows (James 1:17) but it only needs many hands and a lot of ideas to be put together as we are assured in Mathew 8:19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning any that they ask, it will be done for them by my father in heaven”.
Many children in Africa where some of them are Aids Orphans are growing up in a misery, abnormal life, psychological torture, luck and others have realized that they would live throughout their destiny while suffering, where in the same situation and to larger extent with orphaned children , vulnerable children and widows, it’s against such convictions that we initiated and founded Arise The Orphan Children Uganda (A.T.O.C.U.) that will be addressing orphans, vulnerable children widows state of suffering and suggesting measures of improving their ways of life to good life, raising of funds and provide good standards of life as we are told in ISAIAH 1:17says that “ Look to good ;seek justice, correct oppression, defend fatherless, plead for the widow”.
