Summary

Our project supports 5,000 vulnerable street-connected youth in Uganda, ages 7-20, with shelter, education, mentorship, and life skills-led by a young man who once lived the same struggle. Many have fled poverty, abuse, or conflict and now face daily danger on the streets. Your gift helps children that currently sleep outside, go days without food, and face constant danger. Donations provide safe shelter, warm meals, education, and guidance-offering real hope and a chance at a brighter

Challenge

Uganda has the youngest population in the world with 46.02% aged below 14 years and in the community we work there is over 5,000 children aged 7 - 20 that have been abandoned or are orphans living on the streets. The streets is a tough world and many knock on our door or that we meet when we are out and about want to learn, want an education and want shelter but we simply don't have the funds for all these children. Our team meet children as young as 6 years old exposed to drugs.

Solution

With a gift of every donation we can do a little bit more to save another child. Our focus is on children under the age of 10 that have been exposed to drugs and getting these children into our rehab centre. We also have a small centre that we want to convert to a big skills centre in the future for these children to come stay in the hostel and be educated or join a creative course. With your support we will get these children off the streets of Uganda.

Long-Term Impact

By supporting over 5,000 children, we help break the cycle of poverty and homelessness in Uganda. Empowered youth are more likely to complete school, gain employment, and give back to their communities. The project fosters independence, resilience, and leadership-creating a ripple effect of positive change that uplifts individuals, families, and future generations.
