SPAU-Cooperaid Wakiso project

Within the SPAU operational area in Wakiso district, HIV/AIDS has joined a host of other factors –such as extreme poverty and child exploitation– to impose additional burdens on society’s youngest, most vulnerable members.  Cooperaid Director, Dr. Rao Satapati, recently visited SPAU to review progress of the Memory Work project in Wakiso and prepare joint plans for the sustainable care of the program’s identified orphans and vulnerable children from among 4 villages, through supporting & strengthening community-led responses to offer child-support.  If successful, this new program shall seek to support the the communities seriously affected by HIV/AIDS in assisting the most vulnerable children and households, regardless of the specific causes of the children’s vulnerability, to overcome these negative factors.
