HISTORY OF MOTHER CARE AIDS PEDIATRIC AXIS   Mother care AIDS Pediatric Axis began in 1999 as a community based initiative to support children orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Nansana village in Wakiso district central Uganda .It begun with four children after their parents died and they were left alone with no support from an adult. Seeing them suffering a small community based organisation was set up by six community volunteers Mr. Segawa Ephraim, Mr. Mukasa Job, Nakabuuka Gladys, Mr. G.W Kabuuka, Mrs Jane Kabuuka and Mr.Musinguzi Johnson to make contributions to the needy orphans. In 2001 a small nursery school was set up named Nansana Community primary School to provide education to such children in the community.  Supplies such as school uniforms, books, pencils, pens, school fees were also mobilised by community volunteers.  After four years, friends from England, Canada and USA came as volunteers through Go abroad volunteer program to support the school and the organisation.  That’s how Mother Care AIDS Paediatric Axis and Nansana Community primary school were initially set up by volunteers to support orphans and vulnerable children.   As time went by, more and more children were left orphans as HIV/AIDS claimed more lives in the community. The need to provide care and support to the increasing number of orphans became greater as the number of orphaned children increased each day in Nansana and the neighbouring villages and districts.    To continue providing support to the increasing number of children left orphans in the community and other parts of Uganda, In 2004 the program expanded to Sirimula Village in Kiboga district. The project now supports over 600 orphans and vulnerable children in Wakiso and Kiboga district from Nursery to primary seven.   Over the past 9 years Mother care has been working  to improve the lives and welfare of the most vulnerable disadvantaged children in Wakiso and Kiboga district, through  proving education, health care, food , life skills and vocational training both  and girls.
