Children Without Parents and Wives Without Men

Through a partnership with the Asayo's Wish Foundation, and an entrepreneurial Kaberamaido widows group, the Trivani Foundation has stepped in to provide relief to hundreds of widows and orphaned children in the nation of Uganda. Over 10,000 neglected and starving children are orphaned and roaming the streets of northern Uganda, having lost their families for any number of reasons; in most cases their parents are dead, either from AIDS or the ravages of war. Many of these children die alone and unnoticed. Civil war and AIDS have also caused hundreds of northern Ugandan women to survive alone as widows and single mothers with little to no income. Without legal rights, these women face extreme hardships as they struggle to stay alive.

Sarah Asayo was only 12 years old when her family escaped from the devastation of Uganda's civil war. Her desire was always to give back to her country by helping those who suffer so greatly. In 2007 she formed a foundation in Midvale, Utah, focused primarily on providing an orphanage for homeless children in northern Uganda. "Asayo's Wish Foundation was formed to grant a child's wish", explains Sarah, "the wish to survive, to have hope, to be loved and valued, to have a place to call home, and a wish to look forward to tomorrow." Through a close relationship between Sarah Asayo and the Trivani Foundation, Trivani employees are sponsoring hundreds of orphaned children through the newly created Employee Child Sponsorship Program. Trivani employees are ensuring that these children will have their basic needs met - food, shelter, and clothing-and that they will have the opportunity for an education and a hope for a brighter future.

In Ugandan culture, widows are left without legal rights upon the death of their husband, and are usually without financial support or income. Generating income is especially important to these widows, as many cannot support their children and are forced to give them up to the Asayo's Wish Orphanage in hopes that their children may survive. Trivani has partnered with a group of Kaberamaido widows who are determined not to give up their children. With Trivani's financial support, these widows have formed a micro-enterprise by purchasing bicycles and small fishing boats. These boats will be rented to local fishermen. The bicycles will transport the women, and the fish that have been caught, from the river to the market and to their families. The bicycles can also be rented out when not in use. With the profits from the micro-enterprise, these women will be able to support their children without any outside assistance.

"We are ready and hard working," said Cecilia Arayo, the elected leader of the widow's group. "All we want to do is provide for and take care of our children."
