Forever Friends of Uganda helps some of the poorest children in Uganda to receive an education. Our supporters sponsor children from nursery age to university. We have provided school infrastructure including classrooms, teachers' housing, kitchens, water and solar lighting. We are involved in self-sufficiency projects. Girls education is a priority to level the gender playing field. Our support for the Little Angels Childrens Home is crucial to give youngsters a secure base and provide a healthy diet. We have recently set up a new project in support of abused girls and teenage mothers who have had to drop out of school. We advise, support and provide vocational training.

Story

Forever Friends of Uganda works with some of the poorest people in Uganda to provide education, training and healthcare support. 

The charity has constructed school facilities, including accommodation for teachers whose wages are also supported by the charity.  The recently completed skills centre is intended to be valuable support for girls in need, for abused young women and for single teenage mothers who can no longer go to school.

The charity funds various healthcare projects, such as the provision of clean water, basic healthcare, nutrition and mosquito nets for vulnerable children.  It also finances self-sufficiency schemes to teach skills such as farming and sewing in order to provide food and materials for the village and to help people earn a sustainable living.

Supporters of the charity sponsor children’s education directly and there are currently over 120 children being supported from nursery school through to university.

For a small organisation, it has achieved much in a relatively short time from fairly modest donations.  Every pound goes directly to where it is needed and not a single penny is taken by trustees or employees.  Even the flight costs come out of the trustees’ own pockets.

There is so much more that the charity would like to be able to do and, with the challenges of Covid and the global food crisis that is impacting the poorest countries and societies hardest, any support or donation you could provide would be hugely appreciated.  

Just £7 will feed a child in the Little Angels Children’s Home for a month.
