We endeavour to be their comfort, furnish them with love, care and acceptance, see to their health, upbringing and education. Thanks to your help, these children have hope for a better life.

Food and water
Healthcare
We support children in more than 20 schools as well as HIV-positive children from a centre in Adjumani established by Slovak Catholic Charity. Without the care of the centre and the provided medicine, they would not have a chance to survive.
Goals and activities of the centre
The social workers of the centre assist children with their homework and preparation for final exams. The centre holds numerous sporting events and competitions. They offer a wide range of free time activities such as jewellery making, painting and model making. They plan trips during the holidays. The children help with ordinary housework in the centre such as dishwashing, watering plants, assisting in the kitchen. Thanks to these activities, children learn about their responsibilities. The centre has its field, where they cultivate the land and grow vegetables together.
Goals and activities of the centre
The Health Initiatives Association (HIA) has been operating in Uganda for five years and is successfully improving not only health but also the social situation of the local community. HIA currently operates the John Paul II Children's Clinic in the area of Buikwe. In 2016, HIA managed to build and move to new clinical and administrative premises with the assistance of Slovak donors. We provide our little patients not only with treatment and health services, but we also take care of their families. If a child is orphaned or disadvantaged, we can support some of them in the form of paying their school fees.
