Abide Family Center

Organization Description: 

Abide Family Center was started to respond to the over use of orphanages in Uganda. It is estimated that over 80% of the children living in orphanages in Uganda have family. Abide was started out of a desire to give vulnerable families the opportunity to keep their children at home and reduce the amount of children entering orphanages. We do this by coming alongside at-risk families through programs including Case Management and Counseling, Small Business Development, Parenting Classes, Early Childhood Education, Emergency Response Housing, Pastoral Services, and Medical and Nutritional Services.
