There is an orphan crisis in Uganda. Currently the country is home to nearly 1 million children under the age of 15 who have lost one or both parents to HIV/AIDS. Children of Uganda was established in 1995 as a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization to care for orphans and other vulnerable children in Uganda with the goal of helping them become healthy and productive members of society.

The mission of Children of Uganda is to support and empower vulnerable children in Uganda to lead successful and productive lives. Our vision is that all children in Uganda deserve to receive an education to become healthy, productive members of their community who assume leadership roles and positively impact Ugandan society.

The organization supports two orphanages in Uganda, as well as children living with HIV-positive widowed mothers, and has over 700 children under its care. Children of Uganda produces an award-winning dance troupe featuring children enrolled in its programs who tour internationally to raise funds and increase awareness of AIDS and its impact on children.

Children of Uganda need your help to continue our mission to help vulnerable children get a quality education, have nutritious food, shelter and medical care. The children we support would not be able to have an education otherwise. Please help if you can! Every little bit counts.

All children deserve the right to an education, housing and a bright future with hopes and dreams of their own.
