Ewafe Project: Summer Update 2025

By Sarah Wilson | Communications Officer

So many children have received vital support and so many lives have been changed through our Ewafe Project. We truly appreciate your support.

In the second quarter of 2025:

9 at-risk children were identified and assessed.
6 children were admitted to the Ewafe home.
77 children were rehabilitated through the provision of shelter, nutritious food, education, play, farming, medical care and psychosocial support.
4 children were successfully reintegrated with their relatives.
7 families were followed up, to ensure children settled in after reintegration.
5 children were identified for foster care.
1 child was successfully placed with a suitable foster carer.
4 foster families were visited.
5 further families were traced for reintegration.
2 children were equipped with skills for independent living.
7 parents took part in training sessions ahead of reunions with their children.
2 meetings were held with local stakeholders.

Reintegration

This quarter, we successfully reintegrated 4 children with their relatives and conducted 7 family follow-up visits for children who had previously been reunited with their families.

Foster Care

This quarter, 5 children at the Ewafe home were identified for the Foster Care Project and 1 child was successfully placed with a new foster carer. A risk assessment was conducted on the applicant, who was subsequently confirmed as suitable for fostering.

Independent living

This quarter, 2 children were equipped with practical hairdressing skills to prepare them for independent living upon reaching adulthood.

Training

Successful training sessions were held with 7 parents this quarter. The sessions aimed to provide practical skills and prepare them for reuniting with their children. The training sessions covered topics such as:

The importance of proper feeding for healthy child development.
Strategies to strengthen family bonds and create a supportive home environment.
Parental responsibility for the care, protection, and wellbeing of children.

We are pleased to have made excellent progress over the past 3 months, creating space to rescue, rehabilitate and reintegrate even more children.

Thank you

Ewafe Project: 2024 Highlights

By Andy Brown | Fundraising Manager

I hope that the following update on our Ewafe project, reflecting on a few of our key highlights from 2024, is able to inspire you and provide further encouragement that your kind support continues to make such a life changing difference.

Ewafe Project - Highlights from 2024

The need for our Ewafe Project remained strong in 2024. As the year ended, 84 children were staying at the Ewafe home, reflecting both the demand for our care and our deep-rooted presence in the communities we serve. Local leaders and authorities trust us, regularly referring children into our care, while our Community Safeguarding Officers across Kampala remain vigilant, ensuring timely interventions.

Our ability to protect vulnerable children goes beyond the Ewafe home—it starts in the community. By embedding ourselves within these communities, we can identify and support children before they reach crisis point. This holistic, community-led approach is what makes our work so impactful.

Whilst we recognise the importance of working with local leaders, we also recognise the importance of working with children's families, to ensure that children who are reintegrated go back to a loving and stable family environment. We support families in numerous ways, including supporting families with Income Generating Activities. Richard*, a single father of eight, was struggling to support his children, leading to their temporary stay at the Ewafe Project. Unemployed and without stable housing, he longed to reunite with them. Seeing his passion for agriculture, we provided him with two acres of rented land for a year, giving him the opportunity to grow crops for both income and sustenance. Richard is now doing much better, and we anticipate he will soon be ready to reunite with his children. *Name Changed

Our 42 Community Safeguarding Officers have responded to 14 child protection cases.
9 children have been rescued from abuse or abandonment.
84 children were receiving love, care, and protection at the Ewafe Project home as the year came to a close.
14 children have been reintegrated back into family life.
15 resettled children have received school sponsorship.
6 families of reintegrated children who needed support have been provided with income generating activities.
