Journey of Light: a Virtual Benefit Boma for Children of Uganda
Section 1
Uganda continues to face a humanitarian crisis.
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.

Section 3
Building sustainable skills and community networks to alleviate poverty
Like you, we’re morally outraged and distressed by the hardships that women and children face daily in Uganda—especially in contrast to the vast opportunities and abundance so many of us have and take for granted.
Together, we’ve made an impact:
2,400+ women and children impacted by the Family Empowerment Program
1,000+ children provided a private education
90 income-generating projects supported
200+ families provided emergency relief during the COVID-19 pandemic
When you invest in a woman entrepreneur or sponsor a child in school via Children of Uganda, they emerge with the skills, ideas, optimism, and energy needed to transform an entire family’s well-being.
Your donation helps empower Ugandans by providing:
education and career training school tuition and fees for a family in need
access to basic medical care at boarding school
a safe place to live
counseling and mental health support
the opportunity for women to be self-sustaining by initiating their own Income-Generating Activity (IGA) community development, networking, and support via Village Savings & Loan Associations (VSLAs)
