Child advocacy volunteers Uganda (CAVU) children organization was started in humble way by volunteers and a group of parents who were personally touched by the increasing number of orphans due to HIV /AIDS and poverty in Uganda. This was done for children to have a sense of shared history, and learn important social skills that can help them engage and interact as family and community members later in life.

 CAVU`s emphasis is to improve the lives and meet the needs of orphans and vulnerable children affected and infected by HIV/AIDS. And to support referral activities of sick children to access health facilities, providing ARVS and food support and some families start income generating activities so that they can support their families, train communities in psychosocial support to orphans and vulnerable children. Making sure these kids go to school, have food, Medication and a roof over their head.
