The Prepared Finance
Book is a smart, simple tool designed to help small Ugandan business owners
track their sales, expenses, loans, and goals. We're raising funds to print and
distribute the first 1,000 books to underserved entrepreneurs, starting a
movement of accountability, growth, and financial confidence.
The project aims to combat child labour in the agricultural sector, particularly in the sugarcane value chain and commercial sexual exploitation, in the regions of Busoga. It aims to strengthen the child protection system, community knowledge, and law enforcement authorities to identify, rescue, and recover survivors of child labour. The project will address gaps in legal and policy frameworks, weak enforcement, and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. It will support education and training innovations to improve awareness, access to social protection, and evidence-based services. The project will work with the National Steering Committee on Child Labour and district sub-county and parish level stakeholders to address gaps in coordination and collaboration frameworks. The project will also enhance livelihood support for vulnerable households and young people, contributing to the overall objective of reducing child labor in the agricultural and commercial sexual exploitation sectors in Jinja and Luuka Districts, Uganda.
The purpose of this project is to help school going children
commute through the dangerous road traffic intersections and deliver them
safely to responsible caretakers. African Soul Initiative is passionately committed
to enhancing road safety for the most vulnerable members of our
community—school children—within the bustling Kampala Metropolitan Area. Our
project centers on guiding and safeguarding children as they navigate
treacherous roads, instilling invaluable road safety knowledge and discipline,
and fostering a sense of collective responsibility within our community for
heightened road safety awareness and action.
Kwania District in Uganda faces high school dropout rates due to poverty and lack of resources. Treasure Children's Charity, in collaboration with Vine Tutoring Hub, Mango Tree, and Anothen Foundation, is equipping 300 children with school supplies, meals, and hygiene essentials to ensure access to education.
The SettlingIn Children's Home aims to address the urgent need for a safe and nurturing environment for children left behind by Ugandan parents who travelled abroad seeking better opportunities but faced hardships such as economic instability, exploitation, or untimely death. These children, often exposed to neglect, abuse, and poverty, will receive housing, education, healthcare, and emotional support to heal and thrive. The project fosters stability, resilience, and hope by alleviating the emotional burden on parents abroad, enabling parents to focus on rebuilding their lives while knowing their children are cared for. In the long term, the initiative breaks cycles of poverty and neglect, strengthens family bonds, and empowers children to become independent, contributing members of society.
Last year, Juma received a pair of shoes from his
grandfather, a gift bought from the proceeds of a small coffee harvest.
However, this year, Juma has been attending school barefoot, feeling out of
place among his schoolmates. In a remarkable display of resourcefulness, Juma
has been trying to fix his worn-out shoes using materials from his
surroundings. Inspired by his story, we are launching this project to provide
Juma and other children in his community with proper footwear, enabling them to
continue their education comfortably and with dignity.
Four young children, ages 5 to 11, have been left orphaned
after losing both parents in a tragic series of events. Their father, a
boda-boda rider, was killed in a hit-and-run accident, and their mother passed
away from high blood pressure shortly after during his burial. These children
now face the harsh realities of life without their parents, and they have been
forced to sell fruit on the streets to survive. Our goal is to give them the
childhood they deserve by providing both immediate welfare support and access
to education. By funding their school fees, basic needs, and emotional
counselling, we can empower these children to build a brighter future.
