The Need
Over half of Uganda's population is under 18 years of age - the majority of whom have been orphaned by AIDS, civil conflict, and/or extreme poverty. Due to a lack of government-subsidized education, extended families and orphanages face an enormous financial barrier to educating Uganda's children. Moreover, 35% of the estimated 22 million Ugandans cannot read and write. However, with a little assistance, these children can grow into adults who can support themselves and their families and be the stimulus for recovery in their troubled homeland.

Founded in 1995, Children of Uganda is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in the United States and a registered non-profit organization in Uganda. The organization has central offices in both countries and works in conjunction with local organizations in Uganda to provide education and support to hundreds of children in need. Funding is derived from individual child sponsorships, as well as grants and donations.
The mission of Children of Uganda is to support and empower hundreds of orphans and vulnerable children in Uganda to lead successful and productive lives. Our vision is that all children in Uganda receive an education to become healthy, productive members of their community who assume leadership roles and positively impact Ugandan society.
