The need to address community concerns started with overwhelming calamities which hit the district of Kasese. These calamities came in a magnitude which were too much for just one organization to handle. The recurrent and perennial floods have left many people homeless and the civil strife which left close to 200 people dead leaving behind many orphans and widows. Those two major incidents and many others were reason enough for us to establish a foundation that would address the needs of these vulnerable people. Without this foundation, education was going to take a back seat in the lives of vulnerable children and the level of vulnerability at house hold level was bound to reach heights. The Organization is fully registered with the Municipal Authorities and is in advanced stage to register as a National NGO. We have in a big move tried to reclaim street children from the streets and support to acquire skills through placing them with artisans.

The high level of unemployment, poverty, social exclusion and economic deprivation is a common phenomenon among the youth, not only in Uganda but also a worldwide concern. This is re-echoed in Uganda Vision 2040 which recognizes that Uganda has a labor force that is largely under or unemployed due to inappropriate skills and low labor absorptive capacity of the economy. Siren Africa Foundation is at the front line of skilling the children /Youth . Our approach looks at equipping children with skills right from Primary five. We would like to support schools with tools and equipment for this purpose.
