Margaret Boogere

Our fearless leader!

This program was initiated by Margaret Boogere as a club with 20 orphans at Pomede Primary school with a support staff comprising of the staff of Pomede School and Uganda Orphans Rural Development Program in 1998. Margaret Boogere developed love and interest in the plight of the poor and underprivileged people in the community since her childhood. She began by encouraging the poor and underprivileged people not to loose hope but believe in the Almighty God who is the provider. When Margaret was posted to teach at Pomede primary school, she realised that most of the children were either total orphans or had single parents who were also HIV positive. The orphans were shouldering most of the family responsibilities due to lack of parental care.

Looking at the problems of the orphans and of HIV, She saw that it would be possible to sensitise the local community through drama, songs and poems. Such activities help the children to express themselves freely and fluently. Most of them were bright and hard working but couldn’t afford scholastic materials, uniforms, fees and had generally lost hope of a bright future. She decided to start a club that could voluntarily give care and support. When she consulted her school administration, they all willingly embraced the idea and gave liberty to any of the staff who could volunteer to support the club.

Our Goals
