UgandaKids e.V. is a non profit organisation – confessionally and politically independent.
We have made it our challenge to support vulnerable children in Uganda to open up opportunities for their own future with their own aims.
The School and the Kids
The children who are supported by UgandaKids are mainly from families which cannot send their children to school due to poverty, some are orphans who have lost one or both parents during the civil war, through Aids or Malaria. These children usually live with some relatives where they receive some basic food and have to help to support the family. Education as a means to improve the living condition is mostly not affordable and often not seen as necessary. UgandaKids teaches children things about hygiene, social behaviour, conflict solution without violence, etc., of course other subjects such as English, maths or geography are also taught. Education is the key to escape poverty and violence.
To go to school, learn a profession, open a business, employ people or to study – these are the prospects!
Mercy Anzoa and Arthur Sessegawa- two out of many success stories
Mercy Anzoa was enrolled in the baby class of UgandaKids Nursary School at the age of 3. She was then promoted to primary school three years later and after another seven years, she passed her first national exams (PLE) with flying colours at UgandaKids. She was then admitted to the scholarship programme and attended a secondary school in Pakele for six years. After graduating from there two years ago, she is now about to take her final exams at the Arua Commercial School.
Arthur Ssesegawa was orphaned at a very young age and spent a total of ten years at UgandaKids Nursery and Pimary School. He consistently demonstrated above-average academic performance and was therefore accepted into the scholarship program. This enabled him to attend Biyaya Secondary School in Adjumani for another six years, where he completed his secondary education. He then decided to study ITC in which he graduated in 2025. Arthur moved back to Adjumani and is now working as a self-employed IT specialist.
