There is a common saying in Uganda that expresses our approach to helping some of the world's most vulnerable children. Possibilities is working to change lives 'mpola mpola' (slowly by slowly).
We realise that our resources can hardly scratch the surface of this huge humanitarian problem, but we will work slowly by slowly or little by little to make a difference to one life after another.
'Possibilities' is a UK charity based in Needham Market, Suffolk, England, that is making a tiny contribution to the huge catastrophe that has left millions of children stranded in poverty in Uganda, without hope and without a future
Our aim is to help these children to forge an independent future for themselves. We encourage a healthy work ethic and the ability to work together with us and other agencies for a better future.
Uganda has a population of 32 million. Its average age is just 15 and over 50% of the population are under 15 years old. With 6% of the population suffering from the HIV / Aids virus (120,000 of them children) and 1.2 million children orphaned by the disease, we want to give Uganda's children the start in life that we believe all children deserve.
