LONG TERM CARE PROGRAMME

The Long-Term Care Programme provides assistance to the terminally ill children picked off the streets; it offers them high quality care (medical care, nursing and spiritual support). Simultaneously is the work our team of social workers dedicated and committed to providing quality care with dignity and carrying out several key roles to help monitor the progress of these children.

Since our interception in 1971 it became apparent that a response would have to be made to the significant problem of widespread ill-health among so many of the youngest people from the street and nonetheless the abandoned vulnerable babies on the streets of Uganda.

Our response was in the form of the Long -Term Care Programme that has seen many terminally ill children with threatening illness come to Africa Foundation Centre where they receive a full medical check-up and subsequently receive medical treatment. This programme has literally saved so many lives of children who otherwise were facing miserable ill health and imminent early death. Africa Foundation's crucial intervention programme led to our Long Term Care Programme. There are many children with chronic illnesses, which they pick off the street and from garbage dumps. Africa Foundation has provided, and if funded we would like to continue to provide, these children with the much needed medical treatment they longed for, hence giving them real hope for the future. The children’s health conditions are regularly monitored and treated on an ongoing basis if need be.

To date many children have benefited from our Long-Term Care programme. The assistance of our supporters in this programme, the world over, has been a vital and concrete component in the successful treatment of these children – treatment that they would most likely not be able to access while on the streets.
