2. TEAP WOMEN PROJECT
Women in Uganda are the most vulnerable gender group who are affected by every problem that affects the family. This begins right at early infancy stage when the girl child is being raised by the parent. The girl child is raised to cook, cleaning the house, clean dishes, fetch water, listen and obey the opposite gender without question. Early childhood labor is mostly on the girl child rather than the boy and too much is expected from the girl child even where such responsibilities is supposed to be a shared effort among the family.
Young girls grow in such vulnerable circumstance to the extent that they cannot independently make decisions and where they have to it has to be in form of violence to society not necessarily a freewill choice. No wonder prostitution, and promiscuity is at the pick in the nation and properly in the world is because the girl child, the women does not see her divinely given uniqueness. Due to cultural and traditional customs some of which are now in friction with the modern generational standards the girl child is left with self stigma, self denial, and self condemnation.

The Vision and Mission

3. PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY SUPPORT PROJECT
People with disabilities include long term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments such as blindness, deafness, impaired mobility and developmental impairment. While courses for disabilities may vary from person to person and their ability to do any form of work, or live longer depends also on how and where they live. Some people may have more than one form of disability and many, if not most people will acquire a disability at some time in their life due to physical injury, disease or aging. In Uganda about 16% of the population has some sort of disability (Uganda demographic and House Hold Surveys UDHS 2011). The 2011 HIV/AIDS Indicator survey showed that the AIDS scourge is rising among people with disabilities yet they do not have specialized information to deal with the pandemic (Edison Ngirabakunzi, the Executive director of National Union of Disabled People of Uganda NUDIPU).
Statement of Need:
Because the problems that affect lives of people with disabilities are quite many and the systems cannot be changed overnight, there is need for any and all concerned people to respond to the needs and problems of people with disabilities. Some of these people only need a little push, others needs long term care and concern while others can still be the agents of change through their abilities, professional skills and natural talents.
AIMS/OBJECTIVES
1. Raising the living conditions of people with disabilities, especially women and children in Wakiso district initially and later all over Uganda.
2. Promoting care and concern for the people with disabilities in the target area for 3-5 years initially.
To support talent development of people with disabilities in Wakiso district initially and later all over Uganda
5. TEAP CHILDREN’S PROJECT:
The children at TEAP are mainly children of single mothers at Nansana Kibuloka and Gobero villages. At Kibuloka there are 168 children and in Gobero there are 67 children. The children meet only on weekends, they met to play, share talents such as singing, dancing and reading, have a simple meal together and or just socialize because many of them do not have a chance to socialize with proper guided parenting. As their mothers are too busy to look for bread and provide for school need. These children sometimes loose meaning in life and they end up in similar problems that affected their mothers such as early pregnancies, boys dropping out of school and sometimes become bad elements in community because though they go to school they are only offered academics which is aimed at scoring grades but not behavior change focused.

Objectives:
• To meeting the short term and long-term development needs of orphans and vulnerable children in Wakiso district
• To empower children in all aspect of life
• To uplift the hope for orphans and vulnerable children and lead them to be change agents as they will have seen both sides of life.
5. TEAP HIV/AIDS PROGRAM:
The TEAP HIV/AIDS Peer Education program is designed to reach in school youth with simple education and life skills coaching messages to be designed by the organization in line with current HIV/AIDS education and awareness resources but with a cultural approach to fit in with the target groups.
