In the charity's own words
Kwizera works with orphans and other vulnerable children in the Kigezi area of south west Uganda. Sponsors are recruited in the UK to pay for the children's school/college fees and other school necessities, and to support the children's carers if they are very poor. Money is also raised to pay for repairs to (and occasionally a complete rebuild of) the family homes of the sponsored children.
