Facilities Needed – ECCOU Projects

Eastlander Childcare Organization Uganda (ECCO Uganda) is committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and world-class environment for orphans, vulnerable children and youths.  To effectively deliver our programs, ECCOU requires the establishment of purpose-built facilities that meet international standards of child welfare and development.

Our Plan is reaching and empowering children without parental care, disadvantaged youth, and young people from under-resourced communities in Kibuku District and across Uganda. Our goal is to extend support to as many as possible, beginning with an annual intake of at least 100 children and youth who will be provided with comprehensive care, education, and life opportunities.

To make this vision a reality, ECCOU seeks the partnership and support of donors and stakeholders to establish world-class facilities that will ensure every child and young person under our care has the environment, resources, and guidance needed to thrive and build a brighter future.

Headquarters & Administration Center
A centrally located hub with offices, meeting rooms, and staff facilities to coordinate and manage ECCOU’s programs.
Primary, Secondary Schools & Vocational Training Center
Classrooms, workshops, and laboratories offering both formal education and practical vocational skills to prepare children for future opportunities.
Training & Community Engagement Center
Spaces for capacity building, mentorship, workshops, and community meetings to strengthen collaboration with families and stakeholders.
Food Storage Facility
Secure, well-equipped storage for food supplies to guarantee reliable access to nutrition year-round.
Spiritual And Moral Development Spaces
Dedicated areas for reflection, guidance, and nurturing children’s values and character.
Residential Homes
Safe, spacious, and family-style housing that provides children with comfort, stability, and a nurturing atmosphere.
Playground & Recreation Center
A safe outdoor environment with sports and play facilities to encourage physical activity, creativity, and social interaction.
Kitchen & Dining Hall
Modern facilities to prepare and serve nutritious meals, ensuring children’s health and promoting communal living.
Health & Wellness Center
