Welcome!

Many children in Uganda have been affected by a lifetime of war, material poverty and disease. Although HIV/AIDS is rampant throughout the land, the southern regions have been the hardest hit. While in the north the effects of the long-standing war have created a population of children who have never lived without the fear that someone they love will be taken away from them. However, many children fled the north and are now living in parts of the capital city, Kampala, therefore leaving them isolated from their land and away from everything they know. All of these children have the strength to defy the odds stacked against them, and with a bit of support they can spread their wings that much farther.

What we do

We keep the best interest of the child as the core of our work.

  • Provide a family environment of nurturance, understanding, communication, love, and truth.
  • Foster community capacity, team work, and awareness
  • Provision of basic needs- food, shelter, clothing, water, health care
  • Liase with other services
  • Help children to relocate- either to a foster home, the home of a relative, the children’s center on site, another children’s home, or back to their village
  • Provide the children with someone to go to in case of emergency or as need arises
  • Provide special one-to-one (adult to child) time with each child
  • Basic Education and beyond
  • Peer to Peer support networks
  • Family mentorships for the child-headed households
  • Advocacy
  • Income generating opportunities
  • Fun-time activities that all children are able to participate in
  • Other services and opportunities as deemed important by the children themselves
 

Vision
A world where communities have the capacity to care for every child, where the voices of vulnerable children are heard, and where the individual strengths of every child are fostered.
