Children Reach out Program Uganda, is an organization founded in 2008 focused on empowering vulnerable children living in slum communities. We provide educational life skills, educational support, health and wellness campaigns, sports activities, and children’s rights sensitization all free of charge. In 2011, we reached out to over 2350 children around Kampala-Uganda.
With different programs for children, we aim to inspire and empower breakthrough in the way the world treats children, and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives by improving their health, education, life skills and economic opportunities.
Our goal this year is to reach out to more than 2500 children annually. In order to achieve this, we are actively looking for talented, motivated individuals to join us in making a difference in the lives of Ugandan children.
