Two Years Serving the Vulnerable in Uganda

Celebrating Two Years of Service to the Community's Vulnerable

Family to Family

BAFNET was able to pass on some of the donations - including clothes - that we collected from our BAFNET Family to Famiy Project to our beneficiaries during Christmas Eve 2011.

Happy Birthday, BAFNET!

BAFNET (Bakadde Foundation Network) has reached its two year mark! Some of our beneficiaries picking clothes which BAFNET donated to them.

We started operating here in Uganda on 23rd January 2010.

As we celebrate two years of community work in 2012, we have been able to reach to as many chronically poor, older persons, and orphans as possible –  but without the support from many people, we would not have lasted this far.

Some of the donations which remained from that date have been given to our beneficiaries in Masaka District on the weekend of 22nd January 2012. They were very happy to receive these donations.

Happy to with clothing donation!

BAFNET Joins Netzkraft Movement

As a way of implenting our activity of forming networks and creating networking opportunities, BAFNET has yet again joined hands with Netzkraft Movement, which has its headquarters in Xanten, Germany.

Netzkraft Movement is an international network of socially committed individuals and groups working in various ecological, social, political, and spiritual areas. Their aim is to support each other and, through this mutual help, to incerase their influence on society.

The network enables you to introduce yourself and your work to other socially or politically active people. Being prepared to help each other in this way also creates a feeling of solidarity and togetherness among individuals and groups working in various fields. They personally – and their work, too, can benefit from the various skills and exerience of other net participants.

This network will help us spread our work to different states in Germany and the world over, and it will  also help us attract potential donors, funders, and volunteers who will contribute to BAFNET's ambition of extending support to the community; hence, realizing our set objectives.

Our special appreciation goes to Mrs. Gertrud Sivalingam and Mr. Joe Becker, for their wonderful work done for Netzkraft Movement at the Institute and all-members and partners organizations they work with to bring about social change in the world. You can access us in English and in German.

HEAR Uganda Partners with BAFNET

In our effort to extend support to different chronically poor and elderly communities, and marginalized, manipulated, orphaned and abandoned children in Uganda, BAFNET has entered into partnership with Humanitarian Efforts and Relief Uganda (HEAR Uganda).

HEAR UGANDA is a local non-governmental organization (NGO) formed in 2006, and formalized in 2008. It works with vulnerable and under-privileged communities.
It is a non-discriminatory, non-partisan, and non-political organization.
HEAR UGANDA is affiliated with Interreligious Program  (INTERPRO) and other organizations, and it is dedicated to empowering the disadvantaged people through emergency relief and participatory development programs based on human dignity, self- reliance and social justice.
HEAR UGANDA is committed to pursuing its aims and objectives through the Universally NGO acceptable rules and regulations.

HEAR Uganda becomes BAFNET’s seventh partner organization and our third local partner after Arise and Shine Uganda, and Empower and Care Organization Uganda (EACO Uganda).

This new partnership has also strengthened our ties with other grassroot organizations, and we hope our beneficiaries will have a smile on there faces as we keep on growing day by day.
