Rescuing children from the streets of Uganda
More than 3,500 children live and work on Kampala's streets
No child should be forced to live on the street or endure abuse. Umoya is working to rescue children from the streets of Kampala, Uganda.
We rescue, rehabilitate and reconcile street-connected children with their families.
We run a regular street outreach to connect with children living on the streets. Our outreach enable us to build relationships with the children and trust. We provide hot meals, clean clothing, shoes and emergency medical care for the children and run a small soccer team.
Street outreach
We ensure that each child we rescue from the street has access to an education or vocational training through our child sponsorship program.
Child sponsorship helps us to provide school fees, uniforms, books, transport and meals at school.
Education
Re-uniting children with their families
Many children who are living on the streets are not orphans. They have families at home. Many children run from home hoping to find money and answers to their problems in the city. They soon find out they were mistaken. We work directly with children and their families to help reconcile them and bring their children home.
