#Throwback to last Spring... The history of Uganda $#Throwback to last Spring... The history of Uganda, following its independence from Britain, is a messy one. It finally emerged from years of military dictatorship and civil war in 1986 with fractured infrastructures for all to see. As if that wasn’t difficult enough, the 1980s saw the AIDS epidemic begin to take a stranglehold on the country. It is into this context that Komamboga Children’s Home was first established. The ethos of the Home right from the beginning was to create a family atmosphere where all children would be safe, cared for and where they could develop their full potential. This is an ethos we have done our best to preserve since we became involved in 1995. Over the years there have been many happy moments and some sad moments, but the Home has stood firm in its principles and the lives of many children have been helped and guided, with many of them now having families of their own. Society’s values and priorities change over the years and the Ugandan Government has developed new policies and directives concerning the care of children and the use of Children’s Homes. The Government is now determined to see all children placed into families and has set about ensuring this happens as soon as possible. Although Komamboga has always been seen by the Government as a model home for children, they nonetheless expect the Home to follow the new policy. While we understand the reasons for the change in policy, implementing it well is not an easy task. We know that fostering and adoption is a complex process and many safeguards are needed to do the job properly. Our challenge has been to provide a smooth transition for the children from the settled family environment they have known at Komamboga to a new family, where they can continue to feel secure and thrive. 🥰 Want to find out more? #linkinbio 🥰 [[ 📷 Komamboga, January 2019 ]] #cpafrica #change #nonprofit #dogood #charity #socialgood #lovepeoplelovelife #4charity #notforprofit #thankful #cpauganda #uganda #positive #happiness #workingtogether$
