Empowerment illuminates the path to social justice for women, youth, and families.

Our new FASTrack (Family Accountability & Sustainability) partnership model pairs change-makers like YOU with a deserving family in Uganda. For $600 a year, your partnership will provide holistic care and investments for the entire family unit including Income Generating Activity (IGA) training and inputs, livelihood support, family counseling and medical care as needed.

The ultimate goal is to see families able to provide for themselves long-term and well beyond COU’s support.

Throughout the year, you will also receive online updates about the family's life and the progress of the guardian's IGA - in addition to photos and videos.

Income Generating Activities

More than ⅓ of Ugandans live in extreme poverty, surviving off of just $2/day. Economic empowerment can and will break the chains of dependency, empowering women to learn marketable skills and resource management. Women in our program are successfully running income-generating activities of their own to provide for their families, such as tailoring, crop farming, the coffee trade, retail shops, and much more.

Educated Youth

Nearly 50% of Ugandan children are under-educated because families can’t afford tuition payments. Through partnering with the highest quality boarding schools in Uganda, we provide students with the essential supplies they need to receive a top-quality education - tuition, uniforms, shoes, scholastic and personal requirements. Graduates of our program are working in fields such as engineering, medicine, hospitality, environmental protection, as well as trades like mechanics and carpentry.

When you invest in a woman entreprenuer and/or sponsor a child in school via Children of Uganda, they emerge with the skills, ideas optimism and energy needed to transform an entire family's well-being.
