SAVE THE DATE for the
Journey of Light: a Virtual Benefit Boma for Children of Uganda
!
Uganda continues to face a humanitarian crisis, the realities of which have only worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic. The lockdowns disproportionately affect vulnerable groups like women and children, leading to increases in gender-based violence and the elimination of jobs. The pressure guardians face to provide for their children is overwhelming without a sustainable and adequate income source.
Children of Uganda empowers women and youth with opportunities to build sustainable skills and community networks, so they can break the chains of dependence and the cycle of poverty to live healthy and fulfilling lives.

Registration Announcement

Registration for
Journey of Light: a Virtual Benefit Boma for Children of Uganda
is officially open! ✨
On November 13, Children of Uganda will hold our first-ever virtual event - Journey of Light: A Virtual Benefit Boma for the Children of Uganda. A boma is a circular enclosure of branches around a fire, a sacred space where the community and elders gather for meaningful discussions and important decisions. While we can’t bring our Tour of Light to you in person this year, we invite you to be part of a virtual boma for people who care about the future of Uganda. We’ll gather, get a glimpse into the challenges Ugandan families face right now, and help empower Ugandan women and children.

Demonstrate Need for Support

Ugandan women face the enormous responsibility to feed, clothe, and educate their children. In a country where 41% of people live in poverty and almost half of Uganda’s population is under 15, families exist in a vicious cycle of poverty.
Nearly 50% of women in Uganda are married off by the age of 18 (with 10% by age 15).
Women have an average birth rate of 5.59 children, compared to a global figure of 2.5.
Nearly 50% of children do not complete primary school.
The desire to provide for their children can be overwhelming, especially without an income-generating activity to pay for food, clothes, healthcare, and education expenses.
Children of Uganda empowers women and youth with opportunities to build sustainable skills and community networks, so they can break the chains of dependence and the cycle of poverty to live healthy and fulfilling lives.

Testimonials

No mother should have to decide between feeding her children or sending them to school.
An entire generation of Ugandans do not have access to basic human rights or justice.
Every child should be empowered to shine and to realize their full potential - taking their rightful seat as future leaders and visionaries of a more just and prosperous Uganda.
