Nasaru Non-Profit Focused on Sustainable Solutions for Impoverished Communities: find out more at http://www.nasaru.org/about

Nasaru was founded in 2009 and it is a registered 501 © (3) tax exempt non-profit charity organization. The mission of Nasaru is to provide immediate poverty relief while looking to implement long-term sustainability solutions. Uganda is the site of our first endeavor – rebuilding and expanding the Nakifuma School for orphans and impoverished children. The school is providing housing, food, and e

ducation for over 4,200 children and orphans. For further information on Nasaru, go to http://www.nasaru.org

"The children, the future of these people, need a place that will provide them with the support they need to learn and grow, so that they are able to improve their own standards of living, which will allow them to help people throughout their own country. Nasaru’s goal is to implement innovative sustainable living solutions, such as ”green” energy technologies, rainwater collection, aquaponics, and sustainable architecture. We are starting at the Nakifuma campus, but if my dreams come true, our organization will eventually travel worldwide, bringing impoverished people the tools they need to succeed as a community by incorporating sustainable living practices. Nasaru needs the support of those with compassionate hearts, those who can’t ignore the fact that there are large numbers of people in our world who are suffering desperately. If we receive strong support from those who care, we can make a radical difference in the lives of those who are less fortunate. It was Mahatma Gandhi who said, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” I believe that people should work together, peacefully, to care for each other as well as the environment, and Nasaru’s projects are a good example of this philosophy in action."

The eco-friendly briquettes sold by Eco-Fuel Africa are 50 percent cheaper than wood, and they burn cleaner and longer than wood. As a result, people save on average about 200 dollars per year and don’t suffer from indoor air pollution. What’s not to like?

Sanga Moses is CEO of Eco-Fuel Africa, a company that sells kilns and machines that turn food waste into briquettes of clean, inexpensive cooking fuel to stop deforestation in Uganda.

I met some of these children whose hearing has been restored and learned from their teachers and families what a difference this has made, including, being able to join the school choir. A wide and mixed variety of foreign bodies were removed, including, cockroaches, beans, seeds and stones, some of which had been there for a number of years! -

The performance borrows from the smash musical, "Witness Uganda," which documents the true story of Griffin Matthews, a black American who is battling to find his place in a world full of injustice and inhumanity.

Matt Gould and Griffin Matthews, co-creators of the award-winning and Broadway bound musical “Witness Uganda,” open the 2014-2015 Eccles Center season with heart-thumping Afro-pop sounds and heart-wrenching stories on November 1. Based on Matthews' personal experience, the concert –and accompanying…

Actor Arnold Oceng was born in Uganda, the child of refugees who fled Sudan. But the war spilled over the border, as they often do. Growing up in London, he heard the stories of a harrowing childhood he was too young to remember.
“My mom tells me of running away from the war with me tied on her back, through the jungles of Uganda. Hiding from soldiers, just as she had in Sudan. My mom did that. I am totally connected with that war, through her. But I did not understand the desperation she felt, the desperation of all refugees from war feel, until we made the film.”

Those who made the new movie “The Good Lie,” screenwriter Margaret Nagle’s fictionalized account of what many Sudanese “Lost Boys” went through to get to America, figure there’s a timeliness to its history. It’s not just about 1980s East Africa and America just after 9/11.

The choir children, who ranged in age from 8 to 13, told the Sunnyside students what they wanted to be when each of them grew up, with career aspirations ranging from doctors, nurses and midwives to ministers, teachers and police officers, with a few divers, soccer players, and even a would-be astronaut in the mix.

MARYSVILLE — For the students of Sunnyside Elementary, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to interact with children from another culture, but for the school's music teacher, Brenda Ehrhardt, the Sept. 30 visit from the African Children's Choir was the culmination of a lifelong goal.

The Children’s Act bridged an important gap. But good policies without implementation are of little benefit and there is an urgent need to ensure that the justice system in this country is in full conformity with the right of all children – as stated in Article 40 of the CRC – to be treated in a manner which promotes their sense of dignity and worth.

The Children’s Act has immensely improved the lives of many Ugandan children, including those in the justice system. However, more needs to be done particularly to protect the growing number of street children.
