Mission Statement
Our mission at Christalis is to show our love for children who have been affected by various injustices by providing them not only their basic needs, but security, affection, emotional support, a family environment, and opportunities to succeed. For children who have no immediate family, we create a family unit through our orphanage. For children who have a family unit, we create programs to strengthen the families they are in. It is our vision that once every child and/or family we serve is self-sufficient, they will be able to contribute to their communities, and eventually the world at large.
About This Cause
Christalis currently operates three programs in Kasese, Uganda: Christalis Home, Assistance Program, and Family Development Program. The Christalis Home is an orphanage that provides shelter, food, clothing, education, and a loving family environment to children who are orphaned, abandoned, or victims of challenging circumstances. Our home operates like most close-knit families, in the sense that the children live in a family-style environment, where they reside in a building with a both paternal and maternal figure, and “aunts” who provide assistance and cook. The children have a full schedule of activities including: school, study, play, chores etc. The Assistance Program provides financial support to children who have a family support system or a place to live, but due to poverty their guardians are unable to provide full care for them. For these children, we provide tuition, schoolbooks, uniforms, shoes, healthcare, bedding, clothing, and any immediate needs for their families. The Family Development Program provides holistic support to families who are in dire poverty by equipping them with the skills and resources needed to come out of their circumstances. Our goal is to help families become self-sufficient. This is a case management model where each family’s needs are assessed: physical, financial, social, emotional etc. We work with them to increase their income level through vocational training or starting a small business, helping them find better jobs or places to live, providing education on nutrition, family management, financial management, hygiene, child development, positive thinking and more.
