The Challenge

In the slum communities of Kampala, children and underprivileged families face serious challenges related to health and well-being, including malnutrition, limited access to clean water, inadequate health literacy, and lack of psychosocial support. Many families struggle to afford basic meals, leading to severe malnutrition among children. Poor sanitation and hygiene contribute to the spread of diseases, while inadequate access to health services results in preventable illnesses and suffering. Millions of children, particularly orphans, experience significant psychosocial distress without adequate support systems.

How We Help

Health equity is achieved when all children and young people regardless of their economic situation can reach their full potential for health and well-being. We partner to improve  health access in the community where our children live through these programs.

Nutrition

We offer monthly food aid to underprivileged families and daily meals to orphaned and hungry children in the slum community of Nansana, where we work.

Water and Sanitation

We provide access to clean water as we empower children to become health heroes as they receive training to champion sanitation and hygiene in their own communities.

Health Literacy & Medical Camps

We provide information on self-care and disease prevention, as well as education about when and where to access local health services to children and young people in need.

Psychosocial support

We provide effective tools and information to children and young people to help them manage psychological adversity, achieve emotional well-being and be positive agents of change in their communities.

Sheilah Nakatte

programs manager

Sheilah is a servant leader who is passionate about creating a world where every child regardless of his/her background has equal access to quality education. Growing up in desperate poverty, Sheilah had limited access to education, even though her single mother tried to find some piece of work of selling vegetables on the roadside, her monthly income couldn’t stretch enough to provide all the needs of her six poor children including paying their school fees on time. When Sheilah got a chance to step in class, she put all her effort to learning and be the best in her class and was able to get a full bursary as the best student every term which reduced on the risk of being sent back home for school fees which increased her chances of having a brighter future through education. After successfully completing high school, Sheilah decided to dedicate her time to help children struggling in their studies to catch up in math and literacy.
