Providing for the Very NeediestThe Peace Centre provides for orphaned children, situated in Bukinda, south west Uganda. We only support children who are genuinely needy, and go through a rigorous background checking process to ensure this. The vast majority of our children are double orphans who have no immediate family. Typically their parents have died of AIDS, and most of our children are two or more years behind in school because they have not been able to afford the fees.

Our Goal
Our goal is simple: to ensure love, care and a home for each of our children, so that they are educated, healthy young people who can be successful in life.
|
Our Programmes
The needs of different children vary, and we run two programmes, one focused specifically on the provision of education, and the other, for those who have nowhere left to turn, is a residential programme with children living full-time at The Peace Centre.

I am happy to be at The Peace Centre because there is electricity. Before I came here I had no electricity and it was dark and scary at night.
