The Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project.
Nyaka 's Grandmother Program.
Nyaka's Grandmother Program was designed to empower these grandmothers to
provide safe, stable homes for their grandchildren.
Nyaka students have meat once a week, typically
a treat that is eaten only once a year at home.
Nyaka's mission is to end the cycle of poverty
for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS and their grandmothers in rural Uganda.
The groups are given additional support and guidance by Nyaka staff, but with an emphasis on the grandmothers as decision makers.
EDJA is combining efforts with Nyaka, which has used a human rights-based holistic
approach for 16 years to serve the same communities.
At the Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project,
they believe we are all one family created by God, born equally, with the duty to help one another.
