About
El-Shaddai Initiative for Development (ELINDE) is a Refugee Led Organization located in South Western Uganda, Rwamwanja Refugee settlement. ELINDE was established in August 2019 and is providing access to quality education, health, nutrition, advocacy, psycho-social support, livelihoods for self-sustainability to the most vulnerable groups, such as girls, children with disabilities, children from minority groups, conflict affected children and those living in poverty. And being that education offers a firm and safe environment for displaced children, helps people to rebuild their communities and pursue productive and meaningful lives. Our goal is to provide quality education to 600 school ongoing children conflict affected every year in Primary as per 2023&2024. To achieve this, we implemented a pre and primary school with temporally structures in Mahani Zone where we focused on: • Identifying and enrolling talented conflict affected children. • Identifying and enrolling orphans children, children stays with single mothers, children with divorced parents and children with disabilities. • 95% retention and progression • 98% transition from nursery to primary and primary to secondary levels respectively. Our livelihood programs generally seeks to increase self-sustainability to refugees through seed funding and skills development in livestock, agriculture, financial literacy and business management. Through this, our refugee communities can achieve food security and earn supplementary income to support their children in schools.
