A world where children have a voice...
Children have a choice...
And are protected from abuse and neglect.

Uganda has a population 30 million people. Life expectancy is just 47 years.
Uganda has an estimated 1.9 million orphans, the highest number in the world, and 25 percent of all households look after at least one child orphaned by HIV/AIDS, WARS and DOMESTIC VIOLENCE according to a new study by the Ministry of Gender and Labor and Social Development, cited by the non-governmental organization World Vision.

The number of street children in Uganda has also increased dramatically over the last two decades. Street children are young people, under 18 years of age, who spend most of their time, day and night, on the street - begging, stealing, using drugs or prostituting themselves to survive.

Our primary task is to raise funds to provide an education for those most in need - those who have no chance unless we give it to them. We do this by enlisting sponsors either through special events or personal contacts.

Education in Uganda is a privilege, not a right. The majority of the schools there are fee-paying, which means that many children fail to obtain an education and therefore have no chance of finding a decent job when they reach adulthood. The only way that orphans and street-children can receive an education is if someone is willing to pay for them.

Uganda is a developing country and by European standards most people live way below what we consider to be the poverty line. This means that even if a relative is willing to take in an orphan then there is no money available to pay for the child to go to school. This is where Adoption Now! Comes in.
