All TPO projects aim to improve the psychosocial and mental wellbeing of those individuals benefiting from them. Whenever possible, we try as much as we can to deliver our services in an integrated manner. All our interventions target the most vulnerable individuals and their entire households. This ensures that households and surrounding communities are empowered to support themselves and to form a circle of support around individuals in most need. Hence whereas a typical TPO project would support individuals it also places emphasis on building capacity of traditional community structures to participate in awareness raising, helping and follow up support.

The Uganda Program constitutes of projects designed along the following thematic areas;

* Care for HIV/AIDS orphans and other vulnerable children
* Mental Health & Psychosocial Support
* Child Protection & Gender Based Violence
* Conflict Resolution and Peace Building
* Food Security & Livelihoods Improvement
* Capacity Building & Training in Community Based Psychosocial and Mental Health Care

Grace Laki, Project Officer of TPO Yumbe is proud of the progress TPO has made in just a few years. “A lot of the issues have been diffused, the relationships have really improved and people are trying to work together, which has improved both their psychosocial wellbeing as well as their livelihoods. The groups are now integrating; even in social gatherings the ex-fighters now have a contribution. That would never have happened before, and that I think is a very great achievement.” Click here for the full case study.
