Fr. Piton was on of the founder members of Equality Approach Uganda who had a passion to help those who were in need especially the disabled. He spent his first 20 years of priesthood as a diocesan priest, appointed as the Parish Priest of a little town called Spilimbergo. He was very committed to pastoral work and to teach religion education in the schools. His relation with the parishioners and the students was very good. He noted the presence of some poor, sick and disables persons in the Parish and immediately they became his priority. To support them, he founded a charity group.
During all the time, working in Italy as Parish Priest, he kept good relations with the missionaries, referred to as a community of Comboni missionaries in the Diocese. He later visited some of their Missions in Kenya from where he developed and felt called to a missionary vocation; something that continued to grow in him. He later shared with and, in agreement with his superiors; on 10th October 1989 he was allowed to join the Comboni missionary and sent to the province of Malawi-Zambia, where he served for 9 years, very committed to the work of evangelization, which consisted in 3 points:
Equality Approach Uganda (EAU) has contributed to the national Inclusion response among the PWDs and Elderly for over 24 years; having grown from a Christian street outreach in 1998. The inception as a NGO in 2020, EAU has successfully implemented activities that impacted positively on the beneficiaries, with efforts focused around localised vulnerable communities in the city slums of Kampala, Wakiso and Lamwo districts. Over the years, EAU team acquired experience and tested their models with notable success, the organization has grown her network in over 13 districts country wide through formation of registered CBOs with ability to access support from local partners. To date we have 21 groups with 8 fully registered as Community Based Organizations. We also have committed volunteers who have proved their services beyond personal needs.
EAU’s unique model has continued to evolve around the client without neglecting the fundamentals of accountability, performance management, financial reporting and results orientation. Although EAU may have limited direct experience in external funded programming, our 3 years as NGO has delivered results and have fully accounted for every support received and are confident that our models and experience are best suited for working with an established entity that is aware of our area of needs and characteristically familiar to EAU’s beneficiary communities.
