Ewafe Project - Highlights from 2025

The need for our Ewafe Project remained strong in 2025. As the year ended, 80 children were staying at the Ewafe home, reflecting both the demand for our services and our deep-rooted presence in the communities we serve.

• 80 children in total were cared for at our Ewafe home, each receiving nutritious meals, medical care, education, counselling and play-based activities.
• 26 children in vulnerable situations were rescued and welcomed to a place of safety at our Ewafe home. 
• 21 families were traced by our team of social workers.
• 20 children were reintegrated into loving families.
• 8 children were supported with skills and resources to prepare for independent living.
• 1 child was successfully placed with a foster family.

This is Minah's* story…

In 2023, Minah’s* father faced some financial challenges and her family became homeless. As a result, Minah and her siblings were admitted to the Ewafe home. At the time, she felt hopeless and worried about her family’s situation.

Now, at age 14, Minah has graduated from a 9-month hair dressing course. She shared:

“I appreciate Kids Club Kampala for helping me towards achieving this goal. God is faithful that my dad was helped by Kids Club, got a home and my siblings went back to him and are now in school. I also appreciate the counsellor and home nurse that have been counselling me towards various topics like sex education, hygiene, trusting in God and good discipline. All these attributes have helped me gain confidence in myself and in graduating. May God bless Kids Club Kampala abundantly. Thank you.”

As she continues her stay at the Ewafe home, Minah’s care plan includes placement with a business mentor to help prepare her for independent living.

To date, the Ewafe Project has rescued 259 children, and reintegrated 181 with loving families! Thank you so much for making this possible.
