THE WAKISA NEEDS CURRENTLY
There is capacity to shelter 50 pregnant girls at any one time ,we would therefore need more beds and beddings and lockers to accomodate 50 girls from 35 .The organization would also be able to install a three phase electricity supply to effectively run the newly built maternity .The 50 girls will mean we hire 2 more stuff members preferably one more social worker and human resource person to run the organization .The Vocational skilling will be beefed up by items such as 10 heavy duty sewing machines and heavy duty cooker and hiring of a art and craft teacher .The girls desperately need these skills for self help and self support to avoid looking for 'free' money from the opposite sex and they girls not end up conceiving again.
The construction of an administration block for staff members is part of the structural approved plan ,due to lack of funds ,Wakisa has been only been able to build a dormitory,a teaching/dining block and now a maternity center.The Administration block will enable us to shift the staff offices from the girls dormitory and the completion of the half way built perimeter wall is a dire need to keep the girls protected from running away and making them safe from harm .
The mini van we have can only take 7 girls if and when they are taken for an outing as part of therapy ,we would get a 14 seater van at least get out more girls at any time when picknicks are done .Because of our bad impassable roads we are finding hard to resettle girls as well as follow up on these girls so a durable van will ease the visits and follow up on the young mums

Maternity Center
As we are eager to see the Maternity Center of Wakisa Ministries running and serving its purpose to the girls and women in the community we appeal for your support. The building remains a shell and can only start functioning when well-furnished.
Lets Furnish The Maternity Center
Sponsor A Girl Back to School
At Wakisa, we believe that education is very important to the girl child & as such we endeavor to get the girls back into school after delivery. Help out by sponsoring a girl through her education.
Volunteer
Alot of skills are necessary at the center, this could be in counselling , health care , administration or even vocational skills that you want to share with the girls.
There is always some work where you need you to chip in at a time that is most convenient for you. If you do want to volunteer at the center, you can contact us for details of how to make this possible
