Orutindo kids education center
Since 2012, the Orutindo Center in Rushooka has been used exclusively by the Orutindo Kids Foundation for the benefit of children. Some children live here permanently because they have no other place to live, while others stay temporarily when they are sick or urgently need shelter.
Amelia Niwahereza is the house mother of the centre, which is managed by the children themselves. Currently, over 40 children receive financial support.
The building itself is a large oval structure built using traditional mudbrick construction methods and serves as a safe place for our children to live. Here they can play, read, learn, work in the garden and much more. We also offer computer courses, which give the children the opportunity to network internationally and educate themselves via the internet.
Our volunteers also live in this center.
Uganda is a country with a high number of orphans, with the average age of the population being between 16 and 17 years old. We want to promote the potential of this young population through our centre and our educational work! Orutindo Kids Education Centre offers access to knowledge without preconditions and regardless of social, economic or cultural backgrounds.
In this way, we contribute to intercultural exchange and international understanding. After all, education is the fundamental wealth of every human being. Despite all differences, however, every type of education always needs stimulation from others.
