Our Impact
Kids Club Kampala is a lifeline to so many, and what started as a small project in one slum now supports over 300,000 individuals across 10 communities in Uganda.
​
By partnering with us, your company will be working towards a more just future for the communities we work with. Your support will enable us to ensure more children can access free education, can overcome food insecurity and build vital skills to transform their futures.

Educating Projects
To provide children in Kampala's slums with free education we run two vital projects:
​
1
Encouraging Education Project
Our Encouraging Education Project works to provide free, daily education for out-of-school children. We ensure children who would otherwise have no access to education have the opportunity to learn by attending free education classes. The Encouraging Education Project runs in three of Kampala’s biggest and poorest slums; Katanga, Naguru and Namuwongo, supporting and keeping children safe.
33% of children in Uganda do not complete primary school leaving them without a basic level of proficiency in literacy and numeracy, excluding them from the majority of jobs, and putting them at risk of abuse. Our Encouraging Educating Project helps children access an education, keeps them safe from exploitation and helps break the cycle of poverty in their community. After the classes we also provide each child with a hot, nutritious meal tackling malnutrition, contributing to improved health and wellbeing, and increasing concentration levels.
The impact on the children has been profound, in 2022, 97% of students achieved a pass in their numeracy assessments, and 88% received a pass in their literacy assessments, compared to 0% for both in the baseline study when children enrolled onto the project. While the project has been running we have provided a free education to over 1,000 children.

Child Sponsorship Project
We also ensure that the most vulnerable children in the communities we work in are identified and given access to education and the chance to attend school.
To do this we run our Child Sponsorship Project, which matches children with Child Sponsors around the world who pay their school fees, enabling a child to receive a good education and enhance their opportunities for the future.
The sponsorship covers school attendance, uniforms, learning materials and food costs to ensure there are no barriers for a family who has a child enrolled at school.

Social justice
We are committed to protecting the rights of every child, and advocating for children living in vulnerable situations who are unable to protect themselves.
1. Provide direct support to vulnerable children.
2. We’ve increased the accountability of local
authorities.
4. Our impact is unique and effective, teenagers attending our projects tell us they are unable to receive support like Kids Club Kampala’s anywhere else.
3. We provide vital counselling to children and teens.
5. The protection programme strengthens other projects run by Kids Club Kampala, specifically the Ewafe Project.
Protecting Projects
In 2023 alone we’ve had over 1500 children and teenagers attend our Protecting Projects. With the generous donations from our supporters our trained staff have been able to provide these children the opportunity to consistently learn new skills, open up opportunities, feel empowered and improve their self-esteem.
How we help families move from surviving to thriving...
Feeding
In Uganda, at least 9 million people are food insecure and 5.8 million are malnourished.
Hunger is a big problem in the slums. Many families survive on just one meal a day, and children often go hungry because of poverty.
