Supporting and caring for the elderly living within the communities/villages in eastern Uganda. Under our programs we have the following;

Health and Nutrition

Clean Water

Water and Sanitation is paramount in the community, It contributes a big impact on household hygiene, personal hygiene and Sanitation.

The overall objective is to improve the quality, value and extent of better provision of clean water.

Most of the communities have limited sources of clean water and the few in existence are in unreachable distances.

Poor Personal and household hygiene attracts or increases the rate of infections and a number of diseases.

We therefore educate our communities about the importance of household hygiene, personal hygiene and sanitation facilities in disadvantaged homes in the communities.

EPAFU aims at helping to improve the water and sanitation situation in the various rural settings/community in eastern Uganda.

Food

EPAFU extends basic food supplies to the elderly persons living in the communities, supplies like posho, rice, beans, sugar, salt and fruits that help in boosting the immune system are given to these families.

EPAFU is looking forward to joining hands with individuals and communities ready to offer support towards provision of food supplies. It may be financial, in kind or both.

Annual Cost: $ 12,000

Livelihood and Resilience-Community Outreach

Aging comes with numerous challenges and the loss of independence is one potential part of the process, as are diminished physical ability and age discrimination.

Although some older-adults remain self-sufficient, others require assistance. Because the elderly typically no longer hold jobs and so finances can be a challenge. Therefore due to cultural misconceptions, older people can be targets of ridicule and stereotypes. The elderly face many challenges in later life, but they do not have to enter old age without dignity.

The major challenges to the old people include

Poverty, mistreatment and abuse, discrimination and loneliness. While the elderly may face such challenges in developed countries, it is worse in third world countries where much of the population is hit by poverty, spread of diseases, mistreatment, discrimination and selfishness.

Our Efforts

EPAFU wants to provide aid, support and care for 20 old people in our community who are struggling. Among which each one of them carry a unique story. Life gets tougher when you age and worse when you feel like none cares. It is therefore our prayer that you partner with us for this special cause that these people become aware that God cares for them and recognizes their existence on earth.

-We will repair or rebuild their homes to provide safe shelter.
 -We will seek to identify reliable economic activities for them.
 -Sensitization and workshops.
