In order to meet the growing numbers of orphans and vulnerable children in Fort Portal, the Board of Trustees proposed an SOS Village in Fort Portal. The piece of land was donated by the local government. Technical people as well as board members and local management from SOS Uganda have on several occasions visited the site and met with the local leaders. The SOS Children’s Village Fort Portal is the fourth and newest SOS facility in Uganda only launched in June 2011. It now has 12 family houses within the village and supports more than 500 children in the surrounding communities under the Family Strengthening Programme. SOS Children’s Village Fort Portal also extends access to medical care through a medical facility that serves members of the greater community around Butebe and surrounding areas. The center provides both curative and preventive medical services.
