    Why Uganda

    Uganda is one of Africa's poorest and most corrupt countries. The need for help is enormous, especially in northern Uganda, which has been ravaged by civil war for decades.

    The core business
     to the Adina Foundation Uganda (AFU) is the operation of the Lira Rehabilitation Center (LRC). We rehabilitate disabled children through training at the center where we examine the children and facilitate operations that we buy at various specialized clinics. We also work closely with health stations in the district. There are 18 employees at the center and we have become an important employer for qualified labor.

    Disabled children live a life outside the community in the villages. This group needs our help in the form of physical and mental rehabilitation, food, care, clothing, health services and schooling.

    Sometimes it is good to be able to talk to your peers about what weighs.

    Our experience shows that these children have a strong will to move on in life. This is a group to focus on. AFU's employees follow them closely at home in the villages, and register that the previously "useless" children become role models for their parents when they have learned to read and write. We build people, and our "construction" also lifts the villages out in the bush into our time with the children who bridge builders.

    THE WHOLE THOUGHT is the basis for our activities in Northern Uganda. The children and young people we take care of receive health care, but we also ensure that schooling is maintained during the periods they live at the center. The stay at the center varies from a few weeks to up to a year. The average stay is three months. During this period, we are very conscious of stimulating young people to think entrepreneurship with a view to building a future based on their own income.

    AFU is in line with several international organizations that say that there is a great lack of knowledge and entrepreneurship in this particularly fertile country. Over 70 percent of the country's working population is associated with agriculture.

    With us, the children get solid meals every day, which unfortunately does not always happen at home.

    As many as 24 percent of children aged 0-5 years who grow up in the countryside are malnourished. At least two million children aged 5-17 are considered child laborers, according to Uganda's national statistics.

    Regular follow-up in the villages is crucial for us to have a measurable effect of our programs. PHOTO: MAGNE REIGSTAD

    Pursuant to section 8 of the Act, which deals with conditions for processing personal data, the data is processed to fulfill an agreement with a supporter (membership agreement, sponsorship agreement, etc.), fulfill the organization's legal obligations and maintain a register of our supporters to fulfill our purpose.

    The Adina Foundation processes the following information in its register: We store personal details (name, address, telephone number and the like) and social security numbers of those of our sponsors and supporters who have provided information about this. In addition, we store information about contributions that have been given. The Adina Foundation complies with the current rules for updating reservations against the Reservation Register in Brønnøysund.

    The Adina Foundation uses its name and address for marketing purposes. We update addresses against those who have registered in the Reservation Register (applies to those who do not have current agreements with us). For those who have ongoing agreements, such as sponsorship agreements, a reservation is registered if the person contacts the Adina Foundation and requests this. Social security numbers are stored with us and shared with the tax authorities in connection with tax deductions on sponsorship contributions. The information is stored on a secure server and is not disclosed to anyone other than the tax authorities.

    All persons registered by the Adina Foundation can request access to what information is registered and how we use it. Such information will only be disclosed after a written and signed inquiry to us. We hereby ensure that information is not disclosed to unauthorized persons.
