Welcome to Tez ChildFund Africa
At Tez ChildFund Africa, we believe that every child has the right to grow up in a safe environment where they are protected, educated, healthy, and empowered to achieve their full potential.
Every child deserves the opportunity to grow up safe, healthy, educated, and loved. At Tez ChildFund Africa, we work alongside vulnerable children, families, and communities across Uganda to break the cycle of poverty through child protection, education, nutrition, healthcare, and sustainable community support.
Founded in 2018, our organization began with a simple yet powerful mission: to reach children who had been forgotten by society. We started by providing meals to children living on the streets and in informal settlements around Kampala. Later that same year, we established a temporary residential shelter in Kiwatule, where 21 rescued children found safety, nutritious meals, counseling, educational preparation, and structured daily care.
Although the shelter closed after three months because of limited funding, it demonstrated that meaningful transformation is possible when vulnerable children receive consistent care, protection, and encouragement.
Today, we continue supporting children within their communities while working toward reopening a sustainable rescue and shelter program. Every child we reach represents another opportunity to restore hope, strengthen families, and build brighter futures.
Our Vision
A Future Where Every Child Thrives
We envision a Uganda where every child grows up safe, valued, educated, and empowered, regardless of their circumstances. We dream of communities where children are protected from neglect, abuse, and exploitation, families are strengthened, and every young person has the opportunity to pursue a brighter future.
Our Mission
Restoring Hope Through Compassion and Action
Our mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable children by providing child protection, education support, nutrition, healthcare, psychosocial care, family strengthening, and sustainable opportunities that help children thrive within safe and supportive communities.
Through collaboration with families, local leaders, volunteers, and development partners, we strive to create lasting change that extends beyond immediate relief and builds resilient communities for generations to come.
The Challenge
Why Our Work Matters
Across Uganda, many children face daily challenges that threaten their safety, education, health, and future opportunities. Poverty, neglect, family instability, abuse, and limited access to essential services continue to place thousands of children at risk.
Many children struggle with:
- Food insecurity and malnutrition.
- Limited access to quality education.
- Lack of school supplies and uniforms.
- Poor healthcare access.
- Family separation.
- Child neglect and abuse.
- Exploitation and child labor.
- Homelessness and life on the streets.
Without timely intervention, these challenges can lead to school dropout, chronic poverty, substance abuse, trafficking, and lifelong vulnerability.
At Tez ChildFund Africa, we believe every child deserves a different story.
