Helping the elderly

The Youth Outreach Mission has realized the fact that the elderly people are a group that is vulnerable and in need of special attention.
Therefore, as a young group of people willing to serve the community and bring about a positive change in the lives of individuals in the community,
we have launched a campaign geared towards providing basic necessities to the elderly and as well, cleaning around their homesteads to ensure that they live in a safe and a clean environment.
In the above pictures, you can see the members of the Youth Outreach Mission donating to Maria Nakibuule and as well constructing a drying rack at her home in Kitigoma a village next to Jinja town.
