We have successfully renewed the certificates of two caregivers’ support groups in Hoima City and Kigorobya and tirelessly working to register one for Masindi and Kikuube Districts.
Through these efforts, RDSAC secured a 5 million UGX grant from the Government of Uganda for the Kigorobya District group, which has been invested in a poultry project that currently has 91 birds and a fully constructed poultry house.
Similarly, the Masindi group received a 40 million UGX grant to launch a Goat-rearing project, now in its third quarter of implementation. As part of this initiative, 31 members from two sub-counties will each receive two female goats to support their livelihoods.
Meanwhile, the Kikuube caregivers’ group is in its early stages of development.
RDSAC remains committed to supporting individuals with Down Syndrome, expanding awareness, and improving access to essential medical and social services.
