3. COOPERAID
Cooperaid is a Swiss non-profit, non-political, non-sectarian, humanitarian, organisation that works together with national and international aid agencies to support local initiatives at the grass-roots. Cooperaid also seeks to enable AIDS orphans, refugee children, as well as girls and boys from poor and socially disadvantaged families to attend school. Our partnership with Co-operaid is currently benefitting up to 1,000 individuals and 150 households affected by HIV/AIDS in Wakiso district, to learn and implement Memory Work strategies within a family setting.
Uganda Reflex is a U.K. charity that was set up in 2004 to provide assistance to SPAU activities in Uganda. Uganda Reflex and SPAU provide human scale responses to the alleviation of poverty through intensive micro-projects targeted at reaching communities with single parents. Most of our projects are suitable for carrying out around the homestead where children can be looked after quite easily at the same time. Uganda Reflex also promotes and assists Ugandan trade to Britain. Together, we aim to help as many people as possible and so we endeavour to make our projects self-sustaining within the first six months of commencement.
