(TEHEDO);
Tirinyi Education and Health Development Organisation (TEHEDO) is a local Ugandan volunteer group that started in June of 2009, with the aim to have a society with life skills, self-reliant and free from poverty TEHEDO was registered as a Community Based Organization in the year 2021. The organization is dedicated to helping disadvantaged children within communities in Kibuku district and beyond Uganda. The formation of TEHEDO was built on our desire to intervene in the early lives of underprivileged children including children with disabilities. TEHEDO provides the children with quality practical education allowing for full mental development to give them every opportunity for a bright future with promising professions. It is our goal as TEHEDO that every child has a prime chance of positively contributing to their community. On average, about 200 children were supported annually between the years 2010 and 2020. Our support mainly included; psychosocial support and care for orphans and rehabilitation of abused and neglected children. As the needs of the younger children began to outweigh the older, TEHEDO provides primary education. For that reason the organization established a school in one of the poorest areas in Uganda - Kibuku District. TEHEDO has grown to providing support to over 400 children each year. Through a participatory approach, involving local and community leaders, we identify the most desperate children and provide them with the necessary support from within our school where we focus on providing academic education in primary level. We also provide care, food and shelter for the orphans and other vulnerable children (OVCs). In addition to the regular curriculum, we offer support and training to the children and members of the community in the following areas;a) Psychosocial development beyond vulnerability
b) Community Counseling
c) Nurturing support
d) Mentorship
e) Health care support for their families
