Our Impact

What we do

We work alongside more than 350 children orphaned by HIV/AIDS in the community of Ngora, a small town in the Kumi District of Uganda. We support orphaned families from their moment of need, providing short term, immediate care and enrolling them into a long term programme providing education, resources and structure to enable them to live sustainably and independently. We care for families through our three projects: Child Headed Families, Vocational School and Business + Buildings.

Our vision is to encourage an empowered and ambitious generation of young Ugandans who are equipped with skills, hope, dignity and vision for the future.

Your support enables us to provide life saving, life changing crucial support for families in desperate situations. The projects we fund create long term change and transformation.

We have many stories of orphaned children being empowered to build a more hopeful future. You can see some of them on our case studies page.

    Your future isn't really hopeful if you're entirely dependent on donations from strangers. One of our goals is to enable the child headed families programme and the vocational school to become financially sustainable in the long term.
