At Ushindi Charity Organisation, we recognize that families are the foundation of society. Our Welfare & Family Development programs are designed to protect, nurture, and empower vulnerable families, ensuring they have the resources, stability, and resilience needed to thrive.

Our Approach to Family Welfare

1. Basic Needs & Crisis Support

We provide immediate relief to families facing hardship, including:

• Food & Nutrition Security: Emergency food aid, school feeding programs, and sustainable farming training.

• Shelter & Housing: Safe housing for displaced families, home repairs for the elderly, and disaster recovery support.

• Essential Supplies: Hygiene kits, blankets, and clothing for children and families in crisis.

Impact:

"After the floods , we provided 500 families with emergency shelter and clean water, helping them rebuild their lives with dignity."

2. Child & Youth Welfare

Every child deserves safety, education, and hope. We focus on:

• Orphan & Vulnerable Child Support: Foster care assistance, school sponsorships, and psychosocial counseling.

• Child Protection: Advocacy against child labor, trafficking, and abuse, with community awareness campaigns.

• Youth Mentorship: Leadership programs, career guidance, and life skills training for at-risk adolescents.

Our Story:

"David, an orphan in our program, received mentorship and a scholarship. Today, he’s the first in his family to attend university."

3. Women & Caregiver Empowerment

Strong mothers = strong families. We invest in:

• Parenting Workshops: Teaching positive discipline, child development, and health education.

• Income-Generating Groups: Helping women start small businesses (e.g., tailoring, farming cooperatives).

• Gender Equality Advocacy: Fighting harmful traditions like child marriage and promoting women’s rights.

Impact:

"85% of mothers in our savings groups now earn a stable income, lifting their families out of extreme poverty."

4. Family Counseling & Social Support

We strengthen family bonds through:

• Mental Health Services: Trauma counseling for survivors of violence or conflict.

• Conflict Resolution Training: Reducing domestic strife and promoting peaceful households.

• Community Support Networks: Creating peer groups for single parents, widows, and caregivers.

Why Family Development Matters

• Breaks generational poverty cycles by equipping parents to support their children’s futures.

• Reduces child abandonment by strengthening family stability.

• Builds resilient communities where no one is left behind.

At Ushindi, we don’t just help families survive—we help them thrive
