Read MoreNearly 50% of Uganda’s population (over 22 million people) — are children and youth under 18. Despite progress, poverty and inequality continue to limit opportunities for millions of young people.
That’s why we connect children with the people, institutions, and resources they need to grow up healthy, educated, skilled, and safe. Our programs aim to reach 4 million children and their families every year, creating lasting change for future generations.

Protecting Children During Crises
In response to rising violence and neglect during the pandemic, ChildFund working with the Joining Forces Alliance strengthened child protection systems—reaching 4.6 million people through parenting outreach and media campaigns, and supporting 1,742 children and families with justice, counseling, and reunification.
Unlocking a child’s full potential begins with meeting their holistic needs. That’s why we take a whole-child approach, focusing on health, education, skills, and safety, to support children from early years to young adulthood.
We work with families, communities, governments, and children themselves to drive meaningful, lasting change. Our programs are proven and scalable, centering communities as leaders and change-makers.
