ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMMES
INTRODUCTION: The impact of HIV/AIDS has left
behind two (2) million orphans in Uganda according to a report by UNICEF.
This has been characterized by Mother-Headed families and Child-Headed
families left behind by the income earners. This has led to low household
incomes causing extreme poverty. The high cost of education has caused many
youths to drop out of school to the streets in such of a livelihood.
HSGOM is an organization, which has been
established to address these challenges in our community and nation through
its Child-Welfare, Youth Development, and Women Empowerment and HIV/AIDS
awareness programs.
Midland Trust Academy
Midland Trust Academy is a
pre and elementary school with a staff of 8 trained teachers, a cook and
a matron.
The school has an attendance of 100 children, with the ratio of girls to
boys as 1:2.
We believe we are raising the next generation of leaders as the motto
reads.
The school is congested, with temporary open structures where the
children have lessons.
We are seeking partners to help us purchase land and construct permanent
classrooms.

Grace Of
God children's church
Ps. Elizabeth and the children
This vision was birthed by a wonderful Mama to children called Pastor
Elizabeth Mwogeza.
Every Sunday morning she brings together all the children from the
community and the children at Grace Home( One of the children's homes of
HSGOM) with one purpose "that they may sit on the lap of Jesus ,so He
can bless and touch them. " Luke 18:15-17
We request you to send us toys, children's bibles, charts, books,
teaching guides, children's discipleship curriculum and everything that
the children would enjoy using. |

information to the youths. |
