Children, contrary to belief are not little adults. They experience different health problems to adults & so must be assessed accordingly. Children born into underdeveloped countries will often experience different problems to those in developed countries, with many factors, including the effects of poverty, playing a major part in the child’s physical, mental & social development.

The ACDT began sponsoring Kiro Kabowa Primary School and Kiro Ndeeba Primary School, both sister schools in one of the slum areas of Kampala in March 2008.   The slum areas in Kampala are very dirty & muddy.  People do their best to keep things clean but there is no drainage or sanitation.  Many people do not have toilets & use a communal latrine (hole in the ground). When the rains come, the water remains in the area & is often dirty & a breeding ground for diseases like malaria.  People live in small shacks, often large families in one room.  The people who live in the slums are very poor but they do their best to try & care for their families as best they can.  The children here have as much right to education as any child.

In the Ugandan district of Lowero, about 3 hours from Kampala, in a place called Kikadwa we have secured the use of 50 acres of land to cultivate. The beneficiaries of this food are the schools at Ndeeba & Kirabo Childrens Centre which is a small school situated on the land.  At present due to a limit of funds we are only cultivating 10 acres, as more funds become available to us we will begin harvesting the remaining land.
