Welcome to ECCO Uganda
Eastlander Child Care Organization Uganda (ECCOU) is a Christian-based organization established in 2018 and initially registered as a Community-Based Organization (CBO) in Kirika sub-county and Kibuku district, Uganda. Later, it was registered as a non-government organization by Mr. Waira Samuel Joel and four other individuals who recognized the importance of tackling the challenges faced by orphans, disadvantaged children, and people living with HIV/AIDS in the community. With commitment, devotion, and determination, ECCOU is dedicated to assisting a few orphans and disadvantaged children in the villages of Kibuku and the broader region of Uganda.
