Children of Bududa
In the Bududa district, many children have lost their parents to HIV/AIDS, leaving them without a stable support system. But with the Children of Bududa program, these and other vulnerable children are given a chance to thrive. We don't just provide them with basic needs; we go above and beyond to give them the resources and skills they need to succeed.
Children are paired with sponsors who support them where they are. From home visits to one-on-one counseling and support to installing latrines when needed, we make sure that each child receives the attention and care they deserve.

Sponsorship funds will go directly to support the sponsored student to provide holistic support including tuition, weekly Saturday School at BLC and nutritional support and mentoring.
In short, your support will change this student’s life. Affording them the opportunity to think beyond daily struggles and create a better for themselves, their family, and their community.
Funds will not be used for building a well, hosting community training, or putting in a road. While worthwhile, when we do these projects, we raise funds specifically for them.

Sponsorship provides youth with the resources and skills necessary to improve their lives and to succeed. The program works to meet each child’s everyday needs. Through sponsorship, funds are used to provide tuition, school uniform and supplies, food, and weekly academic and enrichment instruction on Saturday at BLC where a hot meal is served and a school nurse is on site. A social worker will regularly assess each student’s holistic needs, conduct schedule home visits and coordinate care.
In short, your support will change this student’s life. Affording them the opportunity to think beyond daily struggles and create a better for themselves, their family, and their community.

There is a waitlist of students identified for enrollment in the Children of Bududa program. If you have a preference of a student profile (ie, age or grade level) you are interested in supporting, just add that to your online donation or check memo, and we’ll do our best to take that into consideration!
In accordance with our privacy policy, we are unable to provide a listing of students who are available for sponsorship. However, we’re happy to work together to provide an ideal match.

Once you are matched with a student, you will receive a welcome letter from our staff, as well as a photo and letter from your student. You will also get regular updates from your student or from our Ugandan staff. (Students always welcome letters from sponsors as well!)
