Who we are.
Background
We are a Christian Non-Government Organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitation, reintegration and advocating for children in street situations, abandoned babies, child victims of trafficking and unsafe migration, and also from high-risk slum families in Uganda that was founded by Rita and William Nkemba in August 2002. We operate in a holistic Four-R-Model of; Rescue, Rehabilitation, Reconciliation and Reintegration approach to restore hope and rebuild children and families in our care. We are a fully-fledged Ugandan NGO with a sister charity registered in Glasgow, Scotland, supporting raising awareness and funds for vulnerable children and families in Uganda.
