International Needs Uganda (INUG) specializes in the progress of the whole child; they emphasize holistic development in the areas of social responsibility, mental, physical and spiritual development. The driving premise is that it is the child that acts as an agent of change when he/she goes back to the family. What the children learn in school blossoms in the family.
Part of them putting strong focus on the child has been seen through their child sponsorship program. Once a child is identified as vulnerable, he/she is matched with a sponsor, and caring and competent social workers get to know the child. They spend time with the family to assess and understand the dynamics at home which allows INUG as a whole team (teachers, social workers, medical team, etc) to better serve the child and their family. Sponsorship funding is critical to this success.
