TATCO Uganda

ORGANISATIONAL BACKGROUND

THE ANDTEX TRAINING AND CARE ORGANISATION (TATCO Uganda) is a Community Based Non- Profit making organization currently carrying out its community development activities in remote areas of Buikwe, Mukono and Wakiso districts in Uganda, East Africa respectively.

It started as a two member group in Njeru Town Council Buikwe District after seeing fellow community members in a very unpleasing state of poverty, Illiteracy, negative mindset towards development and lack of hope for their future.

The community composed of poor nurturing of the infants, less education for the children due to the poor conditions of the few available schools, many children had even no access to education, unskilled youths and women, no care for the vulnerable and aged persons in the community.

To transform the community, the two members i.e KATO ANDREW and NABBANJA DEZIRANTA started The Andtex Training and Care Organisation (TATCO Uganda) and registered it as a CBO in November, 2013 under Buikwe District Civil Society guidelines whose objectives were.

• To provide practical skills training to grouped youths and women

• Start up Livelihood support projects for the trained youths and women

• To provide Early Child Development programmes to the infants.

• Create and provide a conducive primary education learning environment that favours children to be in schools.

• Provide care and support to vulnerable and aged persons in any possible ways and in reach of the organization.

• To positively change the mindset of people in the society.

In collaboration with Local government, peer organizations, individuals, companies, religious societies, political leaders, volunteers of like minds, International donors, e.t.c, joined us and are stilled called upon to be part of our community transformation.
