About us
Who we are
Child and Community Relief Uganda(CCORU) is an organization (initiative) of kind people who chose to volunteer in empowering to develop communities and children who are marginalized, abandoned, neglected and isolated due to difficult circumstances such as child abuse, defilement, domestic violence, extreme levels of poverty, alcoholism, children living with other partners (lovers) of their parents, doubt of biological parenthood, living with HIV and AIDS, and death of parents / caregivers.
Many children and other people, living with HIV and AIDS faced with stigma, depression, lack of self esteem and poor adherence and little has been done to address such issues that seriously impact on their well being. Due to all these factors many children fail to exploit their full potentials.
We therefore thought it wise to initiate an organization to strengthen the support for this category of the rural poor communities and children that are disadvantaged.
Child and Community Relief Uganda (CCORU) is an organization formed to extend wider service to the marginalized children in communities of greater Bunyoro Kitara region and Uganda at Large.
Our emphasis is to help the neediest communities and children especially the abandoned, neglected, isolated, orphans and those living in extreme poverty, and those living with HIV/AIDS by providing them with necessary support; physical and emotional support, to restore the lost hopes in them and help them to be the persons they deserve to be. Education and community economic empowerment is one of the most important step we focus on to change the lives of these communities and children.
