Okuku

Okuku is a bright light at the center, bringing endless joy to our children and staff. When he first came to us, he was living in extremely difficult circumstances. By working with his family to find the best path forward, Okuku is now at his best. Today, he is happier, learning to communicate and follow directions.

Maria Vanesa

Maria Vanesa, one of AAC’s most advanced students, is now continuing her education at the Uganda School for the Deaf, thanks to the support of a generous donor. There, she is learning American Sign Language (ASL) and gaining the tools she needs to build an independent and empowered future. We are excited for the opportunities that are now available to her.

Naome and Family

Naome is one of our beloved students, and her family’s journey is a powerful story of resilience. After facing severe hardship, donor support allowed AAC to provide the family with a new home and hands-on guidance—starting small and teaching Naome's mother, Prossy, how to manage resources and build an income. Today, Prossy runs a home business and fully supports her household. This is a core pillar of our mission: empowering families so every child can thrive in a stable, sustainable home.

Rayan

Wasswa Rayan underwent a thyroid scan to help determine the cause of his severe stomach issues. Following the evaluation, he began receiving medical treatment and now attends regular hospital visits. Wasswa has shown significant improvements—his appetite, nutrition, weight, and breathing have all stabilized, and his skin tone has returned to a healthy color. We are incredibly grateful for the progress in his health and for the consistent medical support he is now able to receive.

Malcom

Malcom is one of the wonderful students we are honored to serve. He lives with cerebral palsy and is known for his bright spirit and contagious smile. Malcom and his family faced a devastating loss when their home was destroyed by fire. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, the family has since received a new home—providing them with safety, comfort, and stability. We are deeply grateful to those who made this possible. Additionally, when Malcom recently faced serious health challenges, AAC stepped in immediately to secure the urgent hospital care he needed. Today, he is fully recovered, back to his happy and healthy self.

Joseph

Joseph began his journey at AAC, where he gained foundational literacy skills. He was later referred to his local school, where he is now thriving with continued support from AAC. Joseph is 1 of 23 children who have successfully transitioned to their local schools. Recently, Joseph underwent a successful operation at CORSU Hospital in Entebbe—one of many life-changing surgeries that have transformed the lives of children in our care.

Daily Living Activities

All students at the AAC participate in daily living activities. Through these activities, they are learning to be more independent. They are preparing for career opportunities in the future and learning to take care of themselves.

Family Gifts

Seventy children and their families received meaningful gifts (chickens, pigs, and goats) thanks to the generosity of our incredible donors. These animals will be raised by the families, providing ongoing nourishment, income, and sustainability for years to come. We are deeply grateful to everyone who gave so generously, making this lasting impact possible.

Okello Raymond

Okello Raymond, one of our students, received a goat as a gift through our program. Since then, he has successfully raised and expanded his herd to four goats. This has brought him great joy and is a step toward a more sustainable future.

Adaptive Equipment

Adaptive equipment, such as walkers, has helped many of our students gain greater mobility and independence. Notably, Mawejje Vincent (pictured) and Basalirwa Shirat have shown significant improvements.

Muwa

Since joining AAC, Muwa has made significant improvements. He underwent surgeries to correct his clubfoot and leg positioning, followed by procedures to repair a broken femur. Today, Muwa is able to stand and walk with assistance. He is one of many children whose lives have been transformed through these surgeries.

Kaddu

Kaddu and his grandmother are currently benefiting from generous home renovations made possible by a kind donor. So far, a new roof, doors, and flooring have been completed—bringing much-needed safety and comfort to their home. In addition to the renovations, they’ve received other support, including food, clean water, clothing, multivitamins, and toys. Today, both are happy and healthy.

Cathy

Cathy became seriously ill, but thanks to your generous donations, she was able to see a doctor and receive a diagnosis of typhoid. She is now receiving consistent medical care and support. In addition to medical treatment, Cathy has excelled in her studies at AAC and now can attend her neighboring public school. This is a huge milestone in Special Education and a great step for her.
