About

The project head office is located in Dokolo town along Bata road opposite St john secondary school. another office is in okwalongwen trading center Amon oloco Village, okwalongwen parish, okwalongwen Sub-County, Dokolo District Lango sub-region northern part of Uganda. The project is currently working with vulnerable children, mothers, people with disability, and elderly persons. People with disabilities, orphans and pregnant mothers are the most affected group in Dokolo District and entire Lango community especially the pregnant mothers during pregnancies and after child birth, since most of them are school dropout and are teenagers. Negative attitudes towards people with disabilities and elderly persons by the entire community has also made matters worse and this has led to increased numbers of death among this group because some time they are left in the house without food and water for drinking, and these  has been so rampant since the  rate in poverty increased among the people in the entire community of the Lango Most of  people in this community are living on subsistence farming which cannot change their life. Many yang children majorly the girls are dropping out of school and ending up in early pregnancy leading to increased numbers of teen age pregnancy and child mother at the end .since there is increased numbers of teen age pregnancy, most of this young mothers are not able to deliver virginally which has made most of them producing though caesarian section and yet they cannot afford the high cost of the hospital bill and these has made the lives of the most young mothers very difficult in the community.

the take off point was how perceptions started changing and the overwhelming support it generated from political/church leaders, business  and the general community and the general public, this lead to the establishment of this organization on 03.06.2017 by Mr. Okonye Isaac pate commonly known as Mr. Pato
