Child Sponsorship Scheme
Kalangala district has a high number of orphans and vulnerable children totaling to 5, 987 out of the total population of children which is 11,798. A total of 2330 orphans are aged 0-17 yrs, accounting for 19.8% of children in the district and is above the national average of 13.4%...
Accommodation and Trainning Facilities
SHED equips youth with technical skills in various trades like; crafts, hairdressing, catering, building and candle making. This comes in form of three months modular training where young people choose to participate in a particular trade according to preference.
Village Savings and Loan Association
Poverty and low household incomes are the leading factors that increase vulnerability of youth and OVC households. There is still a very large gap between the needs of the poor for financial services and the ability for banks and Micro finance institutions(MFIs) to provide these services.
Success Stories
Legal empowerment and access to justice
“I was given limited time to decide either to accept 30 Million Ugandan shillings as compensation and vacate the land I occupy or pay 200 Million Uganda Shillings to the Land lord within 3 days to stay on the land”.
What changed:
I’m happy that although I wanted 100 Million Uganda shillings as compensation, I received a fair sum of 90 Million Uganda shillings to buy another piece of land; this is far better than the 30 Million Uganda shillings Mr. Mpagi Timothy( Land lord) was earlier offering before the mediation efforts of Ms Harriet Nakayiza, the Women’s Land Rights Monitor and SHED.
