Creating Possibilities for
Former Street Children in Uganda
In Support of Ugandan Street Children
Jajja's Kids mission is to create brighter futures and unlimited possibilities for former street children in Uganda. Jajja's Kids program provides a safe and loving home, supportive, nurturing community and access to strong educational and leadership opportunities.
Imagine a child...​
-
dropped off at the gate of a children’s home by parents who are never heard from again,
-
collecting scraps off the street to support your family at only 7 years old,
-
having a loving mother who works hard but cannot feed you and your five siblings,
-
being abandoned by your father only to find he has another family he is living with.
​
These are some of the stories of Jajja's kids. Children who were barely surviving on the streets and in the slums now live together as a family, work hard in school, and have hope for a meaningful future.

Become a Scholarship Sponsor
The Scholarship Fund is a targeted initiative that connects donors with individual students in need. Through this program, donors can provide essential resources to help students achieve their educational goals.
Our students are highly motivated to reach their academic and professional aspirations, despite having faced significant challenges. Many come from backgrounds where they had to leave school early to support their families with basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter.
Before joining Jajja’s Kids, these young individuals often endured the difficulties of life on the streets in Uganda. Now, they have the opportunity to pursue their dreams in education and career development and to positively contribute to their communities.
Realizing these aspirations relies on the generous support of donors. Your contributions play a vital role in making a difference in the lives of these students. Thank you for your support!
