TOGETHER WE WALK AFRICA
was founded after a demanding realization of a need that required very important, fast and instantaneous action. This involved vulnerable children and orphans who had been ill-treated by the mischievous sprite and unfavorable circumstances. There was no way one could have turned back and have a good night's sleep.
This organization brings together susceptible children, orphans, youth and people living with HIV/AIDS. We are working on the Right to Health for all people of Uganda and on support in Education.
Together We Walk Africa was created in 2004, to get back to the rural communities in Wakiso district and other parts of Uganda so that we can reach street children and orphans and enable them to access education. It was legally registered in 2011 under NGO board

Our Education Projects
Vulnerable Children’s and Orphans' Education
Aim -- In this project we create love, space, peace and unity with both street kids and children who are deprived and discriminated against because they are orphans. They have no relatives to bring them together and to comfort them. We take them back to school so that they enjoy life and education. We provide an urgent situation centre, secure homes and a farm community which provides a secure base for their healing and re-integration back into families and communities.
We aim to meet the immediate needs of street children by providing homes, and educating them, helping them to get back their families and communities. In this way we are targeting the key issues which drive children on to the street in the first place by,
Adult Education (English as official language)
Aim - The programme is paying attention to the provision and enlargement of the English language (speaking and writing skills) to help individuals to be able to communicate with other English speaking people.
Formal Education and informal education (youth, women and vulnerable people)
Aim -- This project aims to build a school which enables every young person, especially the children in Uganda, to fulfil their potential and to make a difference, for women who are the mothers for tomorrow and for the youth. We intend to increase their chances of a brighter future. Our aim is not just to support the schools, but to develop a model which can continue working without us.
Aim - This programme aims to improve girls’ access to and attainment of a basic education, and women’s access to and attainment of adult literacy. This will lead to improvements in the confidence, self worth and marketable skills of women, girls, boys and marginalized groups.
