MISSION FOR SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT AND EMPOWERMENT

  

The Volunteering program is our longest running initiative, based on the premise that making a real difference is not only possible but vital. At Mission for Society Development and Empowerment, Volunteering is out of great priority. 
 Advising, Counseling, and Mentoring One of the most crucial functions that Mission for Society Development and Empowerment provide is its ability to respond to a crisis in a prepared, non-threatening, non-judgmental manner. Examples of crises include, but are not limited to the following: • An individual who is harassed or threatened in the workplace, classroom or residence hall for being Person with Disability. • An individual who is "outed" by someone. • An individual who is suddenly forced out of a living situation • A “closed” individual who is experiencing the breakup of a loving relationship and does not have someone to talk to. This support from friends and family is something that many non-NGOs take for granted. •An individual who may be suicidal because he or she has just tested HIV Positive. There is no way to measure how many lives may have been saved by the MSDE across the country. It is a fact that the suicide rate for street kids, pwds and orphans' youth is higher. 
 

The lack of societal support, the lack of role models, outward harassment, and substance abuse are all factors that contribute to this increased rate of suicide. A non-supportive environment in Jinja has also led to lower economic achievement, less productive employees, and reduced retention of members of the community. Therefore, come with a target of wanting to give out Christmas offer to over 1000 families mostly to people with disability[pwds]. Our target on this to give relief to the community mostly those who must have been laid off work and those that are vulnerable. 
 

At MSDE we not only care about the out/local community but we focus on our orphans as well they need to get some gifts and as well as giving them hope as we believe its one way of showing them love and giving them hope. We thus call upon your support in this campaign
