Boarding children are included in the children total. Each dot represents approximately 10; the table gives exact figures. Co-sponsorships began in 2020, mostly for children in boarding school. Boarding figures for 2017–2021 are based on children in P7 and secondary school. *2026 shows the situation on 1 October 2026; the final school term is not yet included.

    MAKE THE CONNECTION PERSONAL

    If you sponsor a child, a letter, photo or optional gift is a lovely way to encourage them and celebrate a special moment.

    We arrange letter and gift rounds three times a year and share photos afterwards.

    LET’S STAY CONNECTED

    Most updates are in English so our team in Uganda can share news directly. Prefer German? You’re welcome to write to us or call us in German, and we’re happy to reply in German too. Email us if you’d like to arrange a call.

    Sponsors and donors are welcome to join our private WhatsApp community ➚ for photos and updates from our team in Uganda. Please keep children’s photos and personal updates within the group.

    Questions? Or started a sponsorship but haven’t received your welcome letter after a month? Email info@foundation22stars.org or stella.airoldi@gmail.com. We’re always happy to hear from you.
