Hey, I’m Steven Kityo partly in Tourism and transport,Founder of Sekekeka Tours & Travel limited based in Uganda. I am also in health and social care ,project Founder of Kafo foundation living in Kampala and project manager at Kalongo Widows and orphans Uganda. Kafo” means “kawonawo foundation in the luganda language kawonawo means survivor” .Kafo moves from village to village throughout Uganda offering help to any child with at least one parent who is living with or has died of HIV/AIDS.AIDS has created an explosion of orphans. Most of these orphans do not have HIV themselves, as their parents contracted the disease after they were born. However, these children don’t even have an opportunity to pursue an education. Many have dropped out of school because their remaining family members, if any, can no longer afford the fees.

Kafo thus provides care only to AIDS-affected children, thereby ensuring that no child is excluded and each child’s needs are fully understood.
Kafo primarily focuses on paying for the children’s education, making sure all funds are delivered directly to their schools, or programs by our staff. Kafo does not operate orphanages or foster homes. Instead, with our financial assistance, we empower the local communities to take care of the children, allowing them to continue to grow up in their native villages. To further decrease their sense of social stigma and isolation, Kafo places the children in schools that purposefully integrate them with children not impacted by HIV/AIDS. These efforts aim to give AIDS-affected children a stronger sense of community and belonging.

These children are mostly HIV negative and will continue to be a part of society for many years to come. Helping these children now and making them a social investment rather than a social welfare problem can help to prevent the large-scale social tragedy of a generation of illiterate and destitute children.
