We achieve this primarily by providing and delivering equipment and grants to schools and children's groups in the Mgahinga and Bwindi areas of Uganda.

So you can be sure that your donation will directly benefit the children of Uganda. If you have a particular type of project you would like to support (education, health, sport, the most needy/vulnerable children etc) then please leave a note and we will make sure that your donation goes towards an appropriate project. And if you leave your contact details we will send you an update of your donation in action. Please note - we do not sponsor individual children. The projects we support benefit large numbers of needy children throughout the communities in which we work.
