The Bugembe Initiative for Development (BID) is an action-oriented, community-based organization dedicated to empowering women, youth, and vulnerable individuals. Formed in 2011 with its base in Bugembe, Jinja District, the Bugembe Initiative for Development (BID) is an action-oriented, community-based organization dedicated to empowering women, youth, and vulnerable individuals through a holistic, socio-economic approach. Diseases, literacy, unemployment, poverty, ignorance, wars, and natural disasters in Uganda have resulted in situations of vulnerability and moral degeneration. The most affected people are the children, women, youth, and the elderly. Many current community initiatives fall short in coping with the ever-increasing number of poor women, needy youths, and vulnerable children. BID Uganda was born out of the need to reach out to these neglected, forgotten, HIV/AIDS sufferers, orphans, abandoned street children, homeless, and those in extreme poverty within the communities and our society who are hurting in life. At BID Uganda, we are always looking for volunteers to help us administer our programmes and get involved in the community.

Moonlight Children’s Home established in April 2009 provides a home for the abandoned homeless and orphan children of Nepal. MCH is a registered (NGO) non–profit, non-government organization of Nepal to provide home, food, education, clothes, a healthy environment and entertainment to the development of children so that they grow up to lead a normal life and become good citizens. Thousands of parents, especially mothers, die every year due to poverty, ignorance and superstitions. There are large numbers of children who lost their parents and become orphans. Moreover, Nepal suffered from conflict for about twelve years. Duringthis period many people lost their lives and many were orphaned during the decade-long Maoist conflict. After the devastating earthquake in Nepal in 2015, several children lost their families and became orphans. Realising these facts Moonlight Children’s Home was established to improve the suffering of these children. In our patriarchal society females are dominated by the male society in every aspect of their lives and to grab the opportunities as a whole. So Moonlight Children’s Home is especially for the protection of such kinds of needs and orphan girls.
