CAI Uganda Programme update 2009
The Ugandan branch of CAI has now successfully developed its own partnerships and funding arrangements within Uganda. We are delighted to hear of new collaborations with UNICEF, the Makerere University Walter Reed Program, the Rotary Club and PREFA (Protecting Families against AIDS) bringing new projects and areas of operation. Consequently at the request of the Ugandan staff, CAI-Uganda has now branched off as an independent organisation with its own Board of Trustees, financial arrangements and management plans.
CAI Uganda has successfully established a service of the care of children orphaned by AIDS within Kayunga district as the cornerstone of a comprehensive district AIDS programme that now incorporates community sensitisation about HIV, voluntary HIV testing, prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) and care of infected and affected children.
Additionally CAI spearheaded the training of midwives in neonatal resuscitation at Mulago Hospital which has now been incorporated into locally run services, as have projects to provide care to abandoned babies and to provide play opportunities for children in hospital.
We wish the team in Uganda every success in their future ventures.
See Past Projects for more details.
