Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I hope that everything is going on well with you. I am Walwasa Martin, a born again Christian and a Ugandan by Nationality. Uganda is one of the six (6) countries which make up East Africa and it is the poorest country with a high population of people with HIV / AIDS, farming is the main source of their income. Currently the states of less for fortunate children in Uganda are encompassed with immense suffering. Very many children grow up without access to basic necessities of life, clothing, bedding, food, health care and protection. They will never have an education, treats of love. But at best card boards to sleep on, rugs to wear, dumped sacks for beddings and a cup of porridge as a day’s meal, garbage bins, trenches, and alleys for homes. It is due to this situation that I started visualizing a burning desire to serve this dying future generation our country. My vision became a reality in 2008 when I was joined up by a team of passionate and devoted people and we formed “Organization for Community Transformation (OCT)”. However, it wasn’t a walk over until the year 2012 that OCT officially registered as an independent, Indigenous, Community-Based Organization with its headquarters in Wakitaka 10 kilometers from Jinja, a town in Eastern Uganda; about 84.0 Kilometers from Kampala the capital of Uganda. Though started as a community based organization, OCT soon upgraded to a non-governmental organization to better handle the anticipated future characterized by abject poverty and the unending spread of HIV/AIDS. OCT works in; 

1.  Assessing child welfare needs for orphaned, abandoned and vulnerable children and coordinating resources for their care.
3.  Providing formal education for orphans and vulnerable children whose families are affected by AIDS
5.  Empowering widows economically through pursuing income generating activities and vocational training.
7.  Providing psychosocial care to widows and children whose lives have been affected by AIDS
9.  Sensitizing and educating communities about HIV/AIDS.
11.  Providing mobile palliative care for people living with AIDS.
13.  Providing spiritual care and support
