HISTORICAL BACK GROUND
There are millions of children across the world who do not have enough food to eat every day, who do not attend school, suffer from untreated diseases, are abused and mistreated, die early, and the same trend also affects the women whose rights are violated and they suffer domestic violence
In many developing countries, country like Uganda where care community Education Centre is based, thousansds of children does not go to school. The schools are long distances a child has to move a long distance while going to school and by the time he/she reaches school is already tired and that child can not concentrate, in class. So there is need for helping these poor children acquire quality education, provision of tuition fee ,scholastic materials and uniforms. On the other hand 80% women in Uganda suffer domestic violence, their rights are violated and they are victims of HIV/AIDS.
Water sanitation
Poor sanitation and hygiene is a cross-cutting health concern in all rural Ugandan villages. Poor sanitation leads to diarrheal diseases, which are responsible for 17% of all deaths of children under five (World Health Organization). Poor personal and household hygiene can lead to trachoma, increased rate of infections, and a number of other diseases. A home with standing water can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and increase malaria rates not just for that family, but for the neighbors as well.
As a result of the above problems Care Community Education Centre (CCEDUC) was initiated in the year 2010 as CBO and registered as an NGO in the year 2013 to address the above challenges.

What we do

Success story.
- The orphaned kids that we identified and took up are now enrolled in schools and are progressively doing well. For instance, they are now able to read and write.
- We also introduced them to computer studies and have gained some computer skills. However, this is limited due to the lack of electricity supply to run the computers. In fact, we use a fueled generator which makes the generation of electricity quite expensive.
- Some of the older orphans deprived women were trained in Tailoring skills and are now able to support themselves using the acquired skills.
- Massive HIV/AIDS awareness actions has helped people living with HIV (PHA) access antiviral drugs at the hospital without fear (unlike before), and many youths have been able to find out about their HIV/AIDS status.
Challenges that the organization faces:
- Transportation, i.e. for follow-ups by field officers, taking the kids to the health facilities at times of illness, and dropping them and picking them up from school.
- Insufficient capacity building to the staff and key administrators so that they can work more effectively and efficiently.
- Inability to provide the deprived Women with sewing machines to use after completion of their training course.
- Difficulties to establish an orphanage home for those children who face serious challenges, such as ill-treatment by relatives with whom they live.
- Difficulty in paying remuneration (salary) to the few staff of the organization
- Inadequate ordinary sewing machines that are used for training, compared to the modern ones i.e. designing, over locking machines which could improve the quality of clothes and turn them into more marketable clothes.
- Inadequate funds to identify income generating activities for sustainability
- Inadequate computer sets and powerful solar panels, which can run a limited number of computers. This is so because the ratio of learners to the computer sets available is 6 : 1
