Routine service delivery to our beneficiaries in clinics and project location area
Our current annual operating budget is financed by grants from donors and internally generated resources. We intend to be more proactive and coordinated in our fundraising efforts and mobilize new sources of funding.
Safeguarding and child protection
Since our mainstay interventions target the vulnerable – orphaned children, young women; and vulnerable adults, protecting them from any form of harm is key to our objectives.
No two ways about it – at AMURT, the safety of our beneficiaries is key. We always endeavor to create and thrive in an environment that is free from abuse and exploitation
AMURT has established diverse preventative measures that include policies and mandatory sensitization drives to ensure staff uphold highest standards of safeguarding.
Our beneficiaries are part of the process – we sensitize them on safeguarding and how they can report any breach. AMURT’s policies contain elaborate procedures for disciplinary action in case of a breach.
