We run residential facilities and schools, providing continuous support to assist these vulnerable children. We also operate always-open helpline centers, ready to serve when needed.

We care for

urban farming

Urban farming

DANA aims at establishing and training a DANA club in each of the schools where DANA is established. Teaching children to establish and maintain a vegetable garden, growing various types of vegetables, making and using organic manure, pesticides and seed saving. Children in schools have developed skills and have improved their nutrition levels by having vegetable supplements to their meals.

With over 70% of Ugandans being employed in the agricultural sector, farming should be a part of the skills taught to children right from a tender age. Teaching children to grow their own food not only ensures sustainable skills but enhance their nutrition too. This has been transferred to communities most especially with limited land.

Clean water and environment

Children have a right to a clean environment. They however should be taught to take the responsibility to clean their own environment so that they can fully enjoy the right to a clean environment. Children are more vulnerable to the effects of a dirty environment, but on the other hand have enormous potential to cause change in their communities.

DANA supports schools and communities to participate and have a clean environment. Through this program we provide items required in cleaning such as dust bins, brooms and wheelbarrows to schools.

DANA further engages children to ensure use of clean and safe water. Through this program, pupils and communities are made aware of the importance of using clean and safe water, not only for individuals but for everyone in their communities. Water tanks and accessories for rain water harvesting are provided to enable access to safe and clean water for student to reduce the countless hours they spend in fetching water.

Sanitation and hygiene

Sanitation and hygiene

Ensuring proper sanitation in schools and communities is one of the key priorities for DANA. Through the sanitation and hygiene program, pupils in schools and communities are taught the importance of proper sanitation and maintaining good sanitation facilities.

Diseases such as diarrhoea, cholera, covid-19, ebola are said to be partly caused by poor sanitation and hygiene. Therefore, through trainings on sanitation and hygiene, the capacity of children and communities to be built to be ressilient and safe through promoting sanitation and personal hygiene.

Menstrual Hygiene and HIV/AIDS Prevention

Menstrual cycle is a challenge to many girls going to school and when not handled appropriately it may affect the education for girls since majority drop out of school.
