The Issue

According to UNICEF, 1 out of 4 Ugandan children live in extreme poverty, many of which cannot afford to go to school. Without education their lives are constrained by a recurring cycle of poverty and unemployment with few, if any, opportunities to break the cycle.

We want to change that. Young adults in Uganda struggle to find employment. In fact, the unemployment rate for young adults (18-30 years of age) is around 64 percent according to the Uganda Bureau of Statistics. Given the growing population and the highest youth population in the world – three quarters below the age of 30 – a focus on education and job creation is paramount.

Our Solution

We help Ugandan children go to school, receive medical care, and learn about Jesus through our discipleship ministry.

We achieve this through the generosity of others – by becoming child sponsors and ministry partners.

Why We Are Unique

The majority of our Ugandan staff are former sponsored children who personally experienced the life-transforming effects of being sponsored out of poverty. Many of them have professional experience working for other sponsorship organizations and bring a unique “boots on the ground” perspective to our organization. They understand firsthand the needs of the community we serve and are passionate about finding solutions to poverty.
