Mainstreaming the Orphan, Semi Orphan and Street children in the national building by providing care, support & protection through shelter, food, sports and education is our mission.

MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to provide emergency protective care , a transitional home and community resettlement service for orphans and other vulnerable children in eastern Uganda. OUR VALUES
We believe that every child deserves a loving home, a family and parents or care takers who cater for their physical and emotional well-being and development. We believe that children belong in homes and families not in institutions. Among our core values are love, care, compassion and philanthropy. OUR MOTIVATIONS
The idea of [A.C.H.A] was conceived by two brothers who are passionate about their well-being of children and that have the over the year volunteered their time to and given of themselves and their resources to children in various orphanages and babies homes. It is our conviction that children should that children should grow up fully integrated into the community. A babies or children’s home should be a temporary place to transitional resettlement into permanent homes. Currently, community resettlement services for orphans and other vulnerable children are non-existent in Namisindwa. Our board is comprised of board members who share the same values, vision and compassion for the well-being of children. From children, we derive joy and we are convinced that it is our duty to give back that same joy to the children that need it. The national strategic program plan of interventions [NSPP 2011/12-2015/16 for orphans and other vulnerable children [OVC] estimated that there 2.4 million orphans in Uganda and 8.1 million children in need of external support. We anticipate that number has risen over the past two years. Furthermore, Uganda media is circulated with stories of desperate mothers who have dumped babies in latrines, bushes and dustbins or other unpleasant places. Such stories and statistics break our hearts and challenge us to do something. The call for the need of the togetherness hands to help nurture for the future of the moderate people of this world. Namisindwa has a rapid expanding population and one of the highest HIV rates in the country. These two reasons make the rate of baby’s abandonment higher than in any other regions, leaving an unmet need for family resettlement in the region. Through our interactions with Namisindwa police and Namisindwa regional referral hospital [NRRH], we came to learn that approximately 4 children need emergency protective care every month in the region. We also learn that police, the probation officer and the hospital are struggling to find protective care for such children since the only children’s home in the region is congested. OBJECTIVES AND AIMS
Our objective are in line with the national orphans and other vulnerable children policy [NOOVCP] and as follows.
1. To provide emergency protective care, a transitional home and community reintegration services for orphans and other vulnerable children.
2. To operate as an approved registered and compliant babies home in accordance with approved home regulations [2009] and reviewed children and babies home rules [ 1991]
