Loving children in the name of Christ
We care for orphaned and vulnerable children, stand with children living with sickle cell, and share food with families in need across Uganda.
Every child deserves to be known, loved and given a future. In Uganda, we are working to make that true, one child at a time.
Orphan Care
A safe home and a family who cares
Children who have lost their parents, or whose families cannot care for them, find safety, love and daily care with us. We provide food, clothing, schooling and medical care, and we walk with each child as they grow.

Sickle Cell Support
Standing with children through every crisis
Sickle cell disease brings pain, frequent illness and costly hospital visits. We help children and their families with daily medication, good food and transport to hospital when a crisis comes, so no child faces it alone.

Food Outreach
A warm meal and a reason to hope
In poor urban communities, many families do not know where their next meal will come from. Our outreaches bring hot meals and food parcels to children and families, along with prayer, friendship and practical help.

Lives Being Changed
From hardship to hope
Many of the children we serve live in villages and have lost their parents. With food, school and people who stand with them, their stories are changing. Here are two of them.

Our Faith
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”James 1:27 (NIV)
We are a Christian charity. Everything we do flows from the love of Jesus, who welcomed children and cared for the poor. We serve every child in need, whatever their background.
