We meet Kampala's children and mothers where they are
Poverty, family breakdown, unemployment, and a lack of access to education are pushing more children and young people onto the streets of Kampala every year. Without food, protection, or a path forward, these children face exploitation, trauma, and a cycle of poverty they cannot escape alone.
Single mothers across Kampala face a parallel struggle, raising children alone with no steady income, childcare, or safety net to fall back on
This is not a distant problem. It is happening daily, in the markets, underpasses, and roadside slums of central Kampala — to children as young as five. Without food, adult supervision, or any pathway into education or skills, these children face a future defined entirely by what they were born into
No safe shelter
Many children sleep in open markets, roadside areas, and makeshift settlements — without adult supervision or basic protection.
A structured, nurturing facility in central Kampala where street children and single mothers each get support suited to their situation, under one roof, every single day.

Nutritious food served to at least 150 children daily, with emergency feeding for street-connected children who walk through our doors.
Child protection
A supervised safe space with trained counsellors, psychosocial support, and active safeguarding at every level.
Vocational skills training
Practical trade training in carpentry, tailoring, mechanics, catering, hairdressing, and entrepreneurship skills that create real livelihoods. Open to youth and mothers to the end of the existing sentence
