02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Provide for critically disadvantaged children, often left destitute and without hope through poverty or tragedy. The aim of the charity is to make a difference, now and in the future, by generating hope and transformation in the lives of abandoned and/or orphaned babies and children in the Kyenjojo District of Western Uganda. FOP UK is a non-profit organisation committed to raising funds in the UK for distribution by FOP UG. FOP UK operates in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environment with increasing demands on funding as the babies at FOP UG grow into young adults and are added to in number.
