Care Africa Network has established
partnerships and links with a number of excellent organisations and projects
for Orphans and Vulnerable Children in those countries visited in Sub-Saharan
Africa. We plan to put information about our partners and link organisations on
our website as soon as possible to advertise the excellent work they are doing,
and hope by doing so to assist them in gaining more recognition, support and
funding.
Below is
information about some of our partnership organisation which we have added to
our website. More to be added shortly.

Kindly assist Super Buddies Club in mobilizing
financial resources for our

launched on VOC in June. The programme

and has created a lot of demand both locally and in South Africa.
We have posted a project for raising funds on
Global Giving and have
been given the month of September

funds. Kindly circulate our link

Network 4 Hope address is:
PO Box 22311, Kampala. Plot 2, Mutebi
Road, Wanetegeya.
Paul Brethen believes that
community psychology can sabotage community development. What is missing has
been the psychology approach. Poverty is a mind-set. People expect to be poor
and with the corruption being ripe, they expect others to cheat, therefore they
compete and do not co-operate. Lack of trust in each other leads to sabotage of
any help to individuals or individual progress. He has developed a N4H Holistic Model of
Community Transformation to address these issues.
