Vocational Training – Providence Home runs vocational training programs especially designed for children with disabilities in
shoemaking, tailoring, agriculture, catering, nutrition, English, and hand crafts for its residents and the surrounding community.
This program empowers people with the skills they need to succeed and to develop their communities.
Kevina Bakery – Run in collaboration with Bake for Life, this first of its kind bakery in Uganda and second in Africa is
dedicated to providing training, employment, business skills, and a love for the craft of baking for people with disabilities in
Uganda. While running a full-scale bakery, it teaches students how to bake and how to run one’s own, smaller bakery.
Education – Providence Home sends most of its children to primary and secondary schools, and its most promising students
to university. Provided with the valuable education that many children in Uganda are denied, Providence Home children are set
up to succeed in the community.
Rehabilitation – With the help of its partners, Providence Home provides for the treatment and care of its residents, whether it
is epilepsy medication, mobility appliances, treatment, physical therapy or counseling services to the children. We also
attempt to build their relationship with their parents if needed.
Community Based Rehabilitation – Providence Home is reaching out to the community to provide diagnosis, treatment,
and equipment to the needy and people with disabilities throughout Nkokonjeru and the surrounding area. There are
community rehabilitation days where the needy in the surrounding area are invited to the home to meet with visiting doctors
and nurses. Volunteers, who are drawn from the local community, visit surrounding communities to keep track of the people
with disabilities there. Once a year, optometrists from England come to provide prescription eyeglasses to people in the
community.
Agricultural Projects – Providence Home is attempting to produce all of its own food. As they would in a family, children
participate in farming activities in order to learn the skills necessary to grow their own food, as many of them will probably
have land which they need to farm when they grow up. There are also poultry and piggery operations which provide income
to the home as well as training the children in how to raise, manage, and sell livestock. As important as these practical
aspects are, the most important aspect of this program is to keep the children in touch with the land and farming which is
extremely important in Baganda culture.
