What We Do

Education

We believe that every child has a right to education which is the catalyst for a real and lasting change in Africa. We promote equal access to quality education for all children – from early learning to secondary education. We work with children, their families, communities, wider society and governments, to advocate at both local and international levels, so that all children are able to get access to education.

IMKA Community Development Organization Uganda partners with over 10 schools in Uganda to provide educational opportunities and build capacity. Through supporting the children, schools, and communities that we work with, we provide them with the skills and tools for sustainable community development.

HIV/AIDS Awareness

HIV/AIDS awareness is one of the most impactful areas where Imka  Community Development Organization (ICDO) leads real change because of stigma, misinformation, and access issues which still pose challenges.

1. Community Needs Assessment

Goal: Understand the level of HIV/AIDS knowledge, stigma, and access to services.

  • Surveys: Using simple questionnaires in local languages.

  • Focus groups: With youth, women, traditional leaders, and health workers.

  • Partner with local clinics: To get data on HIV testing rates and infection rates.

  • Key insight to uncover: Existing myths ? What’s stopping people from getting tested?

2. Objectives

  • Increase HIV/AIDS awareness by 60% in target community within 12 months.

  • Boost HIV testing rates by 40% among youth aged 15–32.

  • Reduce stigma associated with people living with HIV/AIDS 

Due to the increase and impact of HIV/AIDS scourge in Uganda, IMKACDO realized the critical need to start a program to support sponsored children’s guardians who are infected and affected with HIV/AIDS. In 2019 these guardians were mobilized to form an association,

By donating $100 you can help a family affected and infected with HIV/AIDS start a viable income Generation Project.

Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH)

The current evidenced based WASH activities of IMKACDO are carried out at one of the partner schools in Bamunanika village. At the school, hygiene education and practical skills are being conducted. These WASH activities are still on small scale

Human rights Awareness to Community members.

Imka focuses on the basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person, simply because they are human. They are universal, inalienable, and apply to everyone regardless of nationality, gender, ethnicity, religion, language, or any other status.

The workshops focuses on educating community members bout their rights so that they can be able to succeed in day to day daily life.

The workshop is facilitated in local languages (Luganda)

  1. Universality – They apply to everyone, everywhere.

  2. Inalienability – They cannot be taken away, although they can be restricted.

  3. Indivisibility – All rights are equally important and interdependent.

  4. Equality and Non-discrimination – Everyone is entitled to their rights without discrimination.

  5. Participation and Inclusion – People have a right to participate in decisions affecting their lives.

  6. Accountability and Rule of Law – Governments and institutions must respect and uphold human rights.

  • Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights: Right to education, health, work, housing, and social security.

  • Collective Rights: Rights held by groups, like the right to development, peace, or a clean environment.

Key Instruments:

IMKACDO supports over 50 pupils/students in schools annually, as a right to education. However, this program component has not yet attained its holistic approach of total observance, protection and promotion of the rights of children.

Evangelism and Discipleship

In IMKACDO, the primary aim is to let her beneficiaries realize the love of God for them. Through evangelism and discipleship IMKACDO reaches out to all kinds of people bringing them closer to Jesus Christ.

Child,youth and family Skills Development

One of IMKACDO’s core program is Child and Family Development that focuses on the skills development of the vulnerable children and their families.

We train and encourage children and families to take part in activities and skills that will help them in the future.
By doing so, children and families learn how to weave traditional baskets, lay bricks, weave mats, bake cakes, make beads and bungles and many others

Mattresses And Mosquito Nets.

 We help provide mosquito  nets  and mosquito soap repellents which offers protection against mosquitoes and often up to three children can sleep under one net and a whole family cam use one bar of soap thus reducing the risk of malaria.
