Many families often survive on just one meal per day and cannot afford to send their children to school.

Many of the children that Kids Club Kampala work with have been abused, neglected, orphaned, street workers or simply abandoned.

We are making a big difference by bringing hope and love into the lives of many vulnerable children in Kampala, and through changing the situations in which they live.
