We are a 100% volunteer organization that exists to serve the needs of children at risk in Uganda. The needs that we address are focussed around health, personal security, education, and poverty.
Uganda has a population of 32 million people with more children than adults. Many children are “at risk” of being abused, abducted, orphaned, or living in severe poverty with little hope for a better future. These are the children that are our focus. We have had first hand experience in seeing the overwhelming need, and have witnessed how a small amount of money can go a long way in making a positive difference to the life of a child.
The projects that we undertake are carried out through Action For Children, a Ugandan non government agency serving the poorest of the poor. They vary from child sponsorship and supporting a school, to establishing reliable transportation for the staff to more easily access the children at risk … and more.
