Community Transformation Forum - CTF UGANDA

Save our community for Future Development  



 

What we Do

Our work falls into the following areas


 

COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION FORUM's work evolves a round the following thematic areas: A good welfare and improved health of dignity, sanitation, hygiene, nutrition among Orphan children, youth, women and vulnerable populations is their Right.

 

ORPHANs

Education is a human right and a significant element in the eradication of poverty and child labour; it is also instrumental in the promotion of democracy, peace, tolerance, personal and social development and so,

COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION FORUM negotiates with partner schools for free scholarships and pays half and quarter bursaries for the most vulnerable children and families.

 

COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION FORUM is dedicated to securing basic education for all through acquiring bursaries/scholarships for orphans and vulnerable children. Experience shows that learning attacks poverty at its roots. Educated people can make thoughtful and informed decisions that will positively affect their lives, their families, their communities and their world. Mothers are more likely to have healthier children and higher incomes. Today we work alongside communities, government and partner organizations at many levels to address all aspects of basic education.

 

Our inclusive approaches include provision of scholastic materials like Books, Pens, Pencils, Color Pencils, Toilet Papers, Sets, Brooms among others and addressing reasons why children are out of school involving communities in assessing and overcoming their unique barriers to learning; and conducting broad campaigns that promote the right to education for all people.

 

Nutrition

Sadly, nearly 10 million children under the age of five die each year in developing countries, mainly from preventable causes. Over 55 percent of these deaths, roughly 6 million children, are directly attributable to malnutrition.

 

COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION FORUM places a special focus on infant and young child feeding and related maternal nutrition practices and care. Proper nutrition is vital to a child's healthy development and an adult's ability to work and care for her family. We protect, promote and support optimal growth and development for children under the age of five to ensure their best chance for survival.

 

Our organization focus on teaching techniques and practices that help prevent malnutrition, including proper breastfeeding techniques, educating families and communities about how to prepare nutritious complementary food.

Better nutrition for infants and young children means stronger immune systems, less illness and greater cognitive and productive capacity throughout their lives.

 

Maternal nutrition practices and related concerns also play a large role in the success or failure of pregnancy outcomes, and the survival and subsequent feeding of the infant. In order for women to have the best chance for a successful pregnancy and give her infant the best start for optimal growth and development, maternal nutrition must be addressed. Women need to be supported and empowered to claim their rights to provide for their infants with the opportunity to thrive.

 

Children-Youth and Women Empowerment

Of the 30.8 million estimated Uganda’s population, the youth constitute 75% and most of the youth are in rural areas. A trend of rural-urban migration by the youth is in a major move. The major causes for this migration pattern is search for better social services and amenities like education and health services but the search for employment or business opportunities is the major cause. However most of the youth fail to get jobs and end up in urban slums and streets, they engage in unproductive or anti social activities like prostitution, thuggery and drug abuse.

 

HIV/AIDS, Poverty, unemployment and underemployment are the main problems affecting the youth, the major causes of these problems above are; Lack of employable skills, Lack of access to resources like land and capital, Lack of focus on the youth by the existing programmes, over emphasis on experience and lack of apprenticeship schemes, Negative attitudes by the youth towards work especially in agriculture, Lack of a comprehensive employment policy, Negative cultural attitudes such as gender discrimination and lack of appropriate information. Among the problems facing the youth, the priority area of focus is the youth employment challenge. The youth appeal to the government and other stakeholders to review the youth employment challenge and put in place policy, legal and institutional framework to address the problem.

 

In a bid to empower the youth with entrepreneurship skills, COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION FORUM has aTailoring centre, Wieldering Workshop,Bikes Repair and Electrical Vocational Training  Workshop

The organisation uses sport and play as a tool for development of children and youth in the most advantaged areas of the world,
