Since Africa Foundation’s inception in 1971, over 50,600 children have been given access to education in Africa Foundation supported programmes. In all our area of operation there has been a 37.9% improvement in the age that children can get access to an education.

How we have done it...
Since its establishment in 1971, Africa foundation has delivered millions of dollars in direct and indirect humanitarian aid to Uganda’s needy and poor children.

Africa Foundation Children's Centre aims to restore hope to the children of Uganda. Africa Foundation has placed a very great importance on listening to the children and rural communities in the most Aids and poverty stricken areas.

Africa Foundation can best identify the needs of these needy and poor children, and their families, as we are dealing with them on a daily basis. We respond to their needs by delivering aid programmes of direct relevance to these children.

We deliver relevant aid programmes by maintaining strong links with other local based organisations and this has helped us to adapt and change according to the ever-changing needs of the deprived, children. This process of ongoing communication allows us to closely monitor and, where necessary, modify our aid programmes so that we are always offering effective assistance to these vulnerable children.

Please see our programmes for further information on our work.
