Support and empowerment for families and children

Family & Child Support

We are dedicated to supporting families and children facing hardship by providing essential assistance to help stabilise households in need. Our programmes focus on addressing needs such as food, education, shelter, medical and psychosocial support, while also promoting long-term resilience and self-sufficiency.

As part of our commitment to safeguarding vulnerable children, we hold a Child Safeguarding role under Caritas Kampala. In this capacity, we implement strict safeguarding policies and conduct regular training to ensure the safety and well-being of all children involved in our programmes. Activities include establishing safe reporting mechanisms, conducting thorough background checks on staff and volunteers, and offering psychosocial support to children who have experienced abuse or neglect. Our goal is to create a secure environment where children can thrive, free from harm and exploitation.
