Kibaale District Action for Development, or KIDADE’s mission is “to facilitate and provide services aimed at poverty reduction and improvement of living conditions in the local communities in which it operates”.

KIDADE runs programs in Water and Sanitation, Sustainable Agriculture, support for Orphaned and Vulnerable Children (OVC) and their families, Adult Literacy, Human Rights, Environment Management and Micro-Credit. KIDADE supports Gender Mainstreaming across all its work and strongly advocates for the rights of women.

Recent projects have included well construction, supporting beekeeping, animal husbandry and soybean farmers and providing income-generating activities and training for self-sufficiency for children and families affected by HIV/AIDS.

KIDADE placed a request with Palms Australia for a Strategic Development Manager.

Elly Armagos

Elly Armagos has volunteered to spend two years working with KIDADE to develop their programs and improve their capacity to continue their work.

Elly has completed a Bachelor of Youth Studies and several shorter courses related to community work. Elly has experience working with youth and with other community groups in Melbourne.

In 2008 Elly worked with Indigenous Australian youth in the Northern Territory in a literacy and story-telling project aimed at both engaging young people in addressing education issues and providing an opportunity for stories of people in remote communities to be heard.

She was nominated for a Rotary Youth Leadership Award in 2006 in recognition of her leadership skills and took part in Rotary's personal and professional development program.
