AVCR-Uganda is a non-government organization founded in 2008, and is committed to advocating for the rights and freedoms of the vulnerable children at all levels. It seeks to create an encouraging environment for children to freely exercise their abilities and enjoy the privileges such as self expression, education, peace, love, clothing, food, leisure and protection against any forms of abuse among others; as provided for in the Uganda Child’s Rights and Protection Act of 1996 and the international declarations of human rights.

 

AVCR acknowledges human rights as the greatest fundamental promulgation that government, states, kingdoms, public and private organizations have offered to the human race; and it is therefore against this principle background that this organization was established to protect and preserve these irrevocable and most valuable assets. 

The sole interest of the organization lies in the protection of the vulnerable children stemmed from the rampant child abuse, neglect, child labour and sexual exploitation that society easily takes advantage of.

 

AVCR – Uganda helps families of children at risk of abandonment and gives them secure future within their communities and strengthen families so they can care for their own children through education, food security, and other projects.

We work to keep families together, send children to school help mothers alive and protect children by transforming systems all aimed at transforming a child’s life.
