Mwesigwa Julius and his colleagues in Uganda welcome you to the website of Alpha & Omega Development Organization. This group, started in Entebbe, Uganda, is supporting needy children including orphans, at-risk youths, older people and single mothers.
This Community Based Organization is registered by the Wakiso District Development Office in Uganda. It was set up in 2012 by a group of youth, who are involved in a number of volunteer efforts and activities in the dilapidated area of Uganda which was badly shuttered by the 1980-86 protracted which ushered in the current ruling government of Uganda. Formal operation of the non-profit organization began on the 5th day of July 2013, when Alpha and Omega Development Community Based Organization was duly registered by the District Community officer of Wakiso District.
Alpha and Omega was certified to carry out activities in the fields of aiding the marginalized African people, especially Women, PWDs, Orphans, Elderly and youths, empowering them with information for integral development; encouraging interracial cooperation; advocating enhanced health; environment preservation; and imparting entrepreneurship skills. Based on the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), a great percentage of the activities that the Organization intends to carry out are targeting ending extreme poverty and supporting education for young people.

About Mwesigwa Julius
"My name is Mwesigwa Julius. I was born on January 1, 1988 in a village called Wakiso District, one of the villages which needs help and support the poorest people in Wakiso District the Republic of Uganda (East Africa). My father was a Ugandan origin, and my mother also a Ugandan. I am the first born to my parents, we are three children, two boys and one girl, each of us here has his own mother but to one father.
"From that point on, it was just the three of us. My mother was unable to meet our needs because there was no way for her to get any money because at time our father was already dead to take care of the family. I started to look for small odd jobs to get food, and also meet our other basic needs. Back then, it was extremely hard for us to get basic needs. From that time we became orphans after the death of our father. Here we struggled with life like going to school, getting clothes, getting food, health care and clean water. I would look for work to do in order to earn some money so that I could afford to continue going to school. I want to learn and I did the best I could, and kept hope for the future. |
"In 2012, I and the church of Revival Base Christian church were moved with compassion for the many parent less children, and we started Entebbe Alpha & Omega Development Organization Uganda (E.A.O.D.O.U) to address the orphan crisis in country and community. You see Uganda has endured the scourge of civil war, and suffered with the AIDS epidemic. Approximately 2 million in Uganda have been orphaned by these calamities. Sadly, there are about 880,000 children living here as orphans as a result of AIDS alone.
"Then in 2013, our dream finally came true, we started by adopting children away from streets to our church. The number has been steadily increasing since then. Today we have adopted 5 wonderful children. They range in age from 1 to 10 years old. All together we have 90 children to support and taking care of them. Even though it is difficult to provide for all the children at times, we are up for the challenge. We are committed to our family and everyone in it. Our love for them is limitless."

About Wakiso, Uganda (from Wikipedia)
Uganda is divided into 111 districts and one city (the capital city of Kampala), which are grouped into four administrative regions. Most districts are named after their main commercial and administrative towns, known as 'chief towns'. Since 2005, the Ugandan government has been in the process of dividing districts into smaller units, with the most recent change in August 2010. This decentralization is intended to prevent resources from being distributed primarily to chief towns and leaving the remainder of each district neglected.
