ROWAN

To love and empower orphans and widows infected or affected by HIV and AIDS in Africa, by raising hope in Christ through holistic approaches and partnerships resulting in self-reliance. ROWAN is a small organization making a deep impact in the rural communities of Eastern Uganda. All ROWAN staff are national leaders other than myself, and we work together to empower the communities toward self- reliance through Education, Micro-Enterprise, Health care and Urgent Needs. ROWAN says Yes to innovative ideas towards development and says Yes to anyone who wants to come and make a lasting impact. The local Ugandan board makes all policy and program decisions, while ROWAN International board primarily raises funds and encourages and supports the Uganda board.
