Model Pilot Project in Bukaya
This project started in 2010 and is located just out
side of Jinja about 60 miles east of Kampala, Uganda
in a small town called Bukaya. It is a community of
three thousand people who live in severe poverty, unemployment,
and high percentage of drug and alcohol abuse. The most
severely impacted population in the community that is
in dyer need of assistance are mainly widows, single
mothers along with their children, and the elderly.
N4H
Foundation is evaluating the effectiveness of the
N4H Model to empower the community to eradicate poverty
and the social ills they suffer under. |

Project Network (BUCOMP) |
It
is the first pilot project that integrates a unique
organizational community structure with interpersonal/community
mindedness/ spiritual transformation skills sets to
facilitate revolutionary change along with sustainable
commercial size businesses to generate revenue for
Bukaya.
Em-Net
Nursery and Primary School Project |
|
Em-Net is a charity funded school which started in
2008. It is located in Katanga, a slum half a mile
from the city of Kampala. It is the largest slum in
the city with over 60,000 inhabitants. The aim of
the school is to provide education to children of
the urban poor families living in the slums. Many
of the children are orphans due to AIDS and other
natural calamities living with relatives or other
families. Majority of the parents can not afford the
expensive city schools leaving their children without
education.
The
Em-net school is currently providing education to
186 children in nursery through third grade. The school
now employs nine teachers and a maintenance/security
person. Current needs are expansion of facilities
to incorporate upper classes. Finish building, new
roof, desks, chairs, school supplies, books, administration/teacher
cost etc. are needed. N4H goals are to help with capacity
building and develop a school curriculum and methodology
equal to none using evidence base teaching techniques
and skills.

2. Reaching the Youth of Uganda for a Better Life
The goal of this project is to inform as many youth
by provide accurate information on HIV prevention, transmission
and treatment services to lower the rate of infection
and improve the lives of those who currently suffer
from this communitive disease.
Through the use of mobile technology, in conjunction
with a national hot line service, we endeavor to
provide access to information and referrals of existing
services with the use of a unique mobile phone application.
Youth will be able to immediately, easily and privately
access information through their cell phones on
a need to know basis any time a day. With a push
of a button there will be several hundred frequently
asked questions on HIV/AIDS available within the
system. Answers will be sent to the user along with
prompting for addition questions that may not have
been considered to help provide information. If
more help is needed a counselor from the national
hotline service will be available for access.
