Provide Healthy Meals to Ugandan Children
Help provide nutritious meals to these vulnerable children. For only $5 you can help feed 1 child for an entire week. The children supported by Children of Uganda have a simple, but nutritious diet of posho (porridge made with maize) and beans, supplemented occassionally with eggs, vegetables, and fruits.

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. UNICEF estimates that this number will reach a staggering 3.5 million by 2010.
Besides providing shelter and education, the students require nutritious meals to learn and succeed. With your support these children can grown into adults who can support themselves and their families and be the stimulus for recovery in their troubled homeland.

Our 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 would receive an education to become healthy and productive members of their communities, and positively impact Ugandan society.
