How your donation makes a difference
When a child receives an education, their future is brighter and their dreams become a possibility. When a child goes to school, he will no longer need to beg in the streets for food. An educated child will be better able to find employment to secure a future for them and their family; helping them to break the poverty cycle. An education child can be informed much earlier about their health and wellbeing thus, reducing the chances of child marriage, early pregnancies and HIV/AIDS contraction.
From Survival to school.
End child labour through education
Many families in Acholi Quarter fled a 20 year civil war and rebuilt their lives in Kampala with very limited resources. Today, survival often comes before education. In many cases, children start working at a very young age to help provide food for their families. Even with peace, the effects remain. Poverty continues to limit access to school and keeps children out of the classroom. This is the reality many children are born into not because they lack potential but because they lack access.
What does a sponsorship provide?
- School Fees
- School Uniforms *
- School Tours
- Registration Fee
- Exam Fees
- Transport
- Meals in School
- Home visits and family support
- Tutoring and mentoring
- General costs to run the program
This is calculated taken the average cost, as the costs slightly differ per school.
We ask the parents to buy some small school supplies for the children, such as notebooks, pens and toilet paper, so that they stay responsible and connected with their children as well.
*Normally School Uniforms exists of a day-uniform, sweater and sportswear. Due to higher exchange rates and an huge increase in fees by the schools due to higher food and fuel prices, we provide the children only with one uniform.
When funds allow we use extra donations to also give the kids school sweaters and school sportswear, for which we fundraise here.
What do you receive?

What else can you do?
We've been on this upward journey for a solid 8 years now!🎉"
Between 2023 and 2024, 40 children transitioned to Secondary School, and 150 primary school children needed Boarding facilities, leading to a doubling of their sponsorship donations. Our priority lies in emphasizing quality over quantity in a child's education, ensuring successful completion of higher education. To support children on their educational journey to the fullest, we introduced Co-Sponsorships. We are expanding the number of sponsors per child and are only slowly adding new kids to the program.. Additionally, we introduced extra programs benefiting both the children and their community. Depending on current needs, we occasionally prefer to attract new donors to support these programs, instead of solely focusing on enrolling more children/sponsors. This way, we ensure the continued well-being of our current children. ♥
