About The Namuli Prossy Foundation

 “Vision without action is merely a dream, action without vision is merely passing time, but action with vision can change the world.” - Nelson Mandela

MISSION STATEMENT

There is an orphan crisis in Uganda. Currently the country is home to nearly 2.4 million children (1 in 3) who have lost one or both parents to HIV/AIDS, extreme poverty and civil conflict. In fact, Uganda has the largest orphan population per capita of any country in the world.

The Namuli Prossy Foundation was established in October 2008 (Registered as a Scottish Charity in July 2010) to care for orphans and disadvantaged families in Uganda with the goal of helping them become healthy and productive members of society.

As a non-profit organisation headquartered based in the Orkney islands of the United Kingdom TNPF has a committee for executive decision making, fundraising and networking, The Namuli Prossy Foundation works in conjunction with local non-governmental organizations in Uganda to provide education and support to children and families in need and has a Uganda based committee for implementing decisions and administering the charity on the ground and day-to-day activities.

Our Vision:

To empower and improve the welfare and well being of family unit in Uganda, to enable the children and adults to be better educated, more aware of health issues, economically self-sufficient and to enjoy a better standard of living. Ultimately TNPF vision is that all children in Uganda receive an education to become healthy, productive members of their community who assume leadership roles and positively impact Ugandan society.

Our Mission:

The mission of The Namuli Prossy Foundation is to support and empower families and vulnerable children in Uganda to lead successful and productive lives. To provide welfare, educational, vocational and spiritual support, as well as access to necessary medication to enhance the health and wellbeing of the family unit in Uganda:

•             To support needy children, often orphaned (one or both parents) through HIV/AIDS, and their immediate family relatives (Increased number of widows living in absolute poverty) in order to provide school fees, scholastic materials and other essential requirements.

•             To provide for the cost of obtaining anti-retroviral medication for these children and families.

Our Goal:

To work towards a better standard of education and self sufficiency, a better standard of health care and a better standard of living, starting with individual families in the Busega  Neighbourhood and rolling out across the Lubaga Division and beyond. Busega is located in the Lubaga Division which is one of five that makes up the city of Kampala, Uganda.

Busega is primarily a low-income residential neighbourhood, with a few middle-class residences. Closer to Nateete, small businesses, shops and bars also compete for space in the neighbourhood. It has only one shopping mall called Kasumba Square Mall, which is located at the intersection of Busega Roundabout and Kampala Northern Bypass Highway. The Northern Bypass Highway, which was opened in October 2009, passes through Busega.

Busega was also the location of the first recorded killing of young Christians; Makko Kakumba, Yusuf Rugarama, and Nuwa Sserwanga, all of them belonging to the Anglican faith, who were dismembered and burned on 31 January 1885, on the orders of Kabaka Mwanga II the Kabaka of Buganda at that time.
