21 Achievements in 2021

By Andy Brown | Supporter Care Manager

What a year we have had at Kids Club Kampala!

We can’t talk about 2021 without mentioning the COVID-19 pandemic. As things opened up around the world, we were hoping Uganda would be the same. But, in June, a strict lockdown was imposed on Uganda closing schools, markets, businesses and churches.

Our greatest achievements in 2021 reflect the resilience of our communities, volunteers, our teams in Uganda and the UK as well as the passion and kindness of our supporters in the wake of continued lockdowns and restrictions in Uganda.

Take a look at 21 of our phenomenal achievements in 2021!

Here’s what the future of Kids Club Kampala has in store…

We will continue our work providing education by supporting over 100 children with free access to education. The £26,910 raised through the Big Give Christmas challenge will mean we can reach more children with essential education.

With the Ewafe home expanding, we will welcome more children. We will continue to rehabilitate and reunite children with loved ones but will also launch our Foster care programme in partnership with the Ministry.

Demand for our skills programmes has been growing. We plan to extend our tailoring & knitting and carpentry intake in 2022 so more people will be equipped with life-changing skills.

We will continue to safeguard and protect children and teens in the slum communities we work in. By working with the communities, we will form a good foundation for more people to notice and report safeguarding incidences.

We look forward to visiting you!

Here in the UK, we are looking forward to visiting more churches, schools and community groups. We are excited to offer fundraising challenges and volunteer opportunities so we can all work together for a brighter future in Kampala.

Get in touch to organise a Kids Club Kampala speaker for your community group.

Thank you for another special year at Kids Club Kampala.
