About Us
About us and where we operate
Uganda is located in northeast Africa and it’s the Pearl of Africa. It is known for its lakes
and mountainous landscapes, tea plantations, healthy populations of most wild beasts, as
well as a large group of endangered silverback mountain gorillas.
Mbale presents another picture. Wars, AIDS, terrorists, a high birth rate, corrupt
government, Rape, defilement, school dropouts, polygamous marriages, landslides, child
labor and unplanned urbanization have all contributed to the collapse of the country's
covenant with its children.
Out of a total population of over 44 million people in Uganda, more than 14 million are
orphans, street, disadvantaged, at- risk and vulnerable children. Many of these abandoned,
homeless, sick, war-ravaged, addicted, hungry, terrified children come from their villages
to Mbale City, hoping to find work or relief from the deplorable conditions they've left
behind. But soon the harsh realities become clear, as very young children, left to their
resources, have to forge for food, shelter and keep themselves safe from drugs, disease,
and predators.
DELIGHT FOUNDATION AFRICA is a Non-Governmental Organization that was
started with the aim of helping disadvantaged, orphans, vulnerable, street, and the at-risk
youth and children whose life and future seem to be losing hope and meaning. To rebuild
and restore them for a better life, and also to reconcile street children with their families,
because as an organization we do believe in a second chance. All this is done through
identifying different talents in music, art and crafts, vocational skills, film acting,
education, agriculture, games and sports and also engaging them in guidance and
counseling.
In Uganda youth life means a daily struggle. They experience drug abuse, exploitation
through child labor, physical and emotional abuse, drop out of schools, sexual abuse, early
marriages, disease to mention but a few. Due to this, the founders of Delight Foundation
Africa thought that the coming together of youths in the community through music, art and
crafts, vocational skills, agriculture, games and sports, education, family reconciliation and
many others will solve the above challenges.
