ABOUT
PSM Charity
Background: PSM Charity's spark of the vision was after seeing one broadcast on a major TV channel in Uganda about a child-headed family (by a girl of 7) taking care of her three siblings.
The Television was calling for assistance from anyone that could support this young child-headed family.
The management decided to visit these kids and their story really impressed the management to do something more sustainable to help out many more children like these. So, what started as a service was now turned into an NGO.
From that moment till to date, PSM Charity has supported hundreds of such vulnerable children, women, and impoverished individuals with relief items, academic support, and fundraising campaigns to support individuals with terminal illnesses to go abroad for operations, among others.
Human Resource: We have multi-discipline, self-motivated professionals in terms of human resources working to ensure that the objectives of the Organization are achieved.
Registration of a Non-Governmental Organization:
In order to cause the social-economic transformation of such vulnerable communities, it was necessary to have a better-organized system for human, financial, and material resource mobilization. It is against this background that we took a decision to register PSM Charity as a Non-Governmental Organization.
PSM Charity, is now a registered Non-Government Organization at Plot 934 Naalya Close, Kireka Parish, Namugongo division, Kira Municipality – Wakiso District Uganda under Registration Number 6145.
Financial & Material Resources: We heavily depend on individual contributions of members and fundraising from well-wishers. The extent and scope of services offered are limited by the amount of financial and material resources mobilized.
Challenges:
The following are some of the key challenges to the Ministry
a) Financial and Material constraints which limit the scope & extent of our services.
b) Mobility in terms of transport vehicles to reach communities.
c) Lack of sponsorship for proposed projects.
In view of the above concern, we decided to succor.
Our current running projects.
CLEAN WATER FOR HEALTH ENHANCEMENT
AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
We have constructed many well-piped water sources in different communities and the only challenge we have now is borehole construction because there are some areas where wells cannot be constructed, such areas need boreholes but now it is still difficult due to high expenses. The following are some of the communities that we have helped.
TEAM AT WORK - WELL CONSTRUCTION AT BUZIRANJOVU VILLAGE 2020
Having reached many areas and find Humans using the same water source with Animals, we decided to intervene and help such communities by constructing boreholes and piped wells to help over 1500 people access clean water. Currently, our running water project is in kkingo sub-county, Lwengo District.

Young/Single Mothers Brace Program (YSMBP)
PSM Charity's great mission is to ensure that no child or woman suffers unattended to;
This work is very big, and what we have done is very little, owes a lot and we have very little, we are currently standing by the help of individuals who are interested in this work, we ask our colleagues who have any help they can give us. Let's join together, let's do something, we believe these women are very privileged in raising their children, there are girls who make mistakes and give birth at a very young age of 11 or 12 years, and they are kicked out of their homes and men deny them, and end up in a mess, imagine that young girl, who doesn't even know about giving birth, if she is not helped please, how will that child grow up?
They are also taught how to make reusable pads as a sustainability measure. And we also train them on other core capacity-related topics.
We also sensitize their communities on sanitation and hygiene and they acquire knowledge and skills in tree planting and the use of energy-saving stoves in order to protect the environment because even if we do everything without protecting the environment, then we will not be able to live so in everything we do we try to teach people to protect the environment.
There is a second category of women between the ages of 19 -35 years, and they are also single mothers. because we believe that these women play a huge role in the development of children, we care about them and so we developed a program to help them. By providing them with equipment for their homes and daily lives, and teaching them Vocation Skills for those who cannot learn, there is a program to provide them with start-up funds and kits, For those who cannot learn we give them a small capital to raise such as chickens, For those who cannot learn we give them a small capital to raise such as chickens, There are also provided with menstrual hygiene kits periodically.
That is why we are coming out and focusing on these Young innocent mothers who are suffering this kind of problem, who have no one to help, if you watch our video of the girls of Mende sub-county, the girl said she got to give birth without even knowing she had twins, he arrived at the hospital with nothing, you could say he went to see the doctors and the doctors were surprised, besides he didn't know what to do but she didn't have the money, if we sit down now then who will help?

Minor's Relief Program (MRP)
Since Covi19 hit us, we have not recovered, but the needs are increasing, the Organizations that were providing us with aid have cut us off, and the individuals who were providing us with aid have also decreased completely, we are in a difficult time and we have to work, do you understand why you are on our website now?
These children need you to help them, it is true they may not know you, but they know one thing there are people far away who care about them being well-fed, dressed, educated, treated, etc. maybe one day you will have the opportunity to visit them, they are very happy and welcoming, don't leave this site without buying a child at least a book, and take the opportunity to be one of the people who help these children to have a better life.
I pray that God will bless you and keep you safe so that you can continue to help so many other organizations help those in need.
