What the charity does

Child's i Foundation believes that all children should grow up in safe & loving families supported by strong & inclusive communities. We work to ensure that children are resettled into families from institutions & other unsafe settings, addressing the root causes of separation. Our programs align with the Ugandan Children's Act & the African Charter on the Rights & Welfare of the Child (ACRWC).
