Children are our future, and we need to do everything that we can to ensure that they grow up in safe communities.

KANSAI Plascon donates paint to Sanyu Babies’ Home
Perhaps the greatest tragedy of all is that we know how to convert tragedy into triumph...we simply need more assistance achieving it! We know how to transform bad numbers into good ones. And while assisting children is a wonderful thing to do, the good you have done does not end there. It spreads!
When we give children everything, they need to THRIVE rather than just survive, we break the cycle of generation after generation. Children require a variety of supports, ranging from those required for survival, such as food and health care, to those that would give a better quality of life in the future, such as education, psychological support, and economic self-sufficiency.
Responding to such needs is Kansai Plascon, one of Uganda's largest paint producers. It donated 700 litres of paint valued 14 million Uganda Shillings to Sanyu Babies' Home. The money will go toward the organization's rehabilitation work on several of its properties, including the main dormitories, which needed a new roof.
Sanyu Babies' Home is a church-based institution that was formed by the Namirembe Church of Uganda. The organization is the oldest children's home, having opened its doors to abandoned children for nearly 80 years and working to get them adopted, placed in foster homes, or reunited with their family.
Plascon's donation was in fulfillment of the company's vow to contribute 1,000/= Uganda Shillings for every litre of their anti-mosquito paint sold. Furthermore, Plascon's kind deed was part of a Corporate Social Responsibility initiative to help other organizations that positively influence their communities.
“Sanyu Babies Home is a cause close to our hearts and as such children are our future and we need to do everything that we can to ensure that they grow up in safe communities. Plascon wants to see a continuation of generations who are given the chance to dream big. We would like to see these children and many others grow into responsible contributors to the Ugandan society.” _ David Kayongo
