Christina Akwero Foundation (CAF) Uganda is a non profit community-based organization working in Gulu, Omoro, Amuro, Nanya and part of Pader districts, registered in 2014 and founded by Denis Steward Otim and Geoffrey Howard Okot. Christina Akwero was an HIV/AIDS positive mother of 5 children who past away on April 14th 2005. We, as her children, started the foundation in honor of our very hard wo
rking mother, who brought us up as a single mother as well as being a teacher. She was an inspiration to us all and we would love to keep her legacy alive, and to help other people in her situation. CAF Uganda is registered under 4 major pillars:

- Elimination of mother to child HIV/AIDS transmission and education of the youth on the high rates of HIV/AIDS prevalence in the districts.
