Sponsor a Child in Uganda

Back to School, Back to Hope Your Support Is Transforming Lives

Dear Friends,

Because of your generosity, vulnerable children in Uganda are continuing their education and building brighter futures through our Sponsor a Child in Uganda program. Your support is helping children from disadvantaged families stay in school, access essential learning materials, and pursue opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach. Our sponsorship program supports children to enroll, remain in school, and complete their education through school fees, scholastic materials, and ongoing welfare support.

During this reporting period, 40 children received educational support, including school fees, uniforms, exercise books, pens, and other scholastic requirements. During the regular follow-up visits by our field team, we monitored children's attendance, academic progress, and wellbeing to ensure they remained safe and engaged in learning.

One of the beneficiaries, a 13-year-old girl in lower secondary school, shared;

"Before I joined the sponsorship program, I often missed school because my family could not afford fees and school requirements. Sometimes I feared being sent home. Today, I attend school every day and I am confident about my future. I want to become a nurse and help people in my community. Thank you for believing in me."

Another sponsored child told us:

"Receiving books, a uniform, and school fees made me feel valued. I now concentrate on my studies instead of worrying about whether I will stay in school. Thank you for giving me a chance to learn."

Your donations were used as follows;

1. 50% of the donations were used to pay school fees and educational expenses.
2. 30% of the donations were used on scholastic materials, uniforms, and learning supplies.
3. 20% on children monitoring, welfare follow-up, and program coordination.

Because of your support,

1. 100 percent of children remained enrolled under our child sponsorship program are actively attending school.
2. 98% of our sponsored learners progressed to the next academic level in the 2026 academic year.
3. Our field team conducted 6 home and school follow-up visits to check on children's wellbeing and educational continuity.

At Joy for Children Uganda, we believe education is one of the most powerful tools for breaking the cycle of poverty. Every contribution you make creates opportunities, restores hope, and empowers children to dream bigger.

On behalf of the children, families, and communities we serve, thank you for investing in their future. Your partnership is not only keeping children in school, it is transforming lives.

With gratitude,

Joy for Children Uganda
