Yes Uganda Update

Posted: Dec 27, 2023, 13:49 p.m.

We're spotlighting the work of Youth Empowerment Solutions Uganda, one of our chosen charities. YES Uganda has been working with vulnerable children since 1996. The organisation's aim is to assist children without parents or with sick parents - AIDS orphans, ‘street’ children, and war orphans.

YES opens up educational and training opportunities for children and is hands-on and proactive with health issues and welfare improvement.

The project is totally reliant upon donations and volunteers. With your generous support we can continue to help poor children grow up to be healthy, educated individuals who contribute to their communities. In 2009 our Managing Director undertook some consultancy work to establish the hospitality department within www.kyaningalodge.com, an amazing hand-built safari lodge near Fort Portal, Western Uganda. Whilst there he met his wife, Rose, herself a graduate of the YES program, who via sponsorship had studied accountancy and had remained with the program in the capacity of accountant. They were married in Uganda in 2011 and now reside in Bath, UK with their two daughters Elisha and Liya. We're proud to say that this quarter alone, we have donated over £1180 to YES Uganda and will continue to pledge a percentage of all successful placement fees.
