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.

For four years we have been doing outreach and resettling children from home. Our next step is to establish a small child resettlement home so that we can begin to rescue more children.

Our goal will be to provide street connected children with access to home schooling, rehabilitation, and a safe place to call home.

Umoya home

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

Umoya soccer team

We ran a soccer program alongside our outreach for four years. We hired a soccer coach to come in and teach our kids soccer skills and the kids have absolutely loved this! They really take soccer seriously and it gives the kids something to focus on and dream about.
