FROM SURVIVING TO THRIVING

Taking child sponsorship further, together.

Built on a promise to a mother named Grace. Twenty-five years later, however a child comes to us, our commitment is the same: to strengthen the path that carries them toward education, dignity, and opportunity. Now there’s a new way to walk that path with us: the Grace Fund.

Joseph wants to be a lawyer. The path there starts in Primary 3.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS IN UGANDA

A Promise That's Still Being Kept

Getting by was never the goal.

We hold a higher standard.

Two
Meals
A Day

Every student in our care eats at least two meals a day, and boarders eat every meal.


No child in our care should

ever have to learn hungry.

The Strongest Schools

Not the nearest school. The one that can carry them furthest.


We choose each school for a child's future, then cover fees, uniforms, and supplies.

Known
& Seen

A clinic that knows their history and a social worker who knows their family.


Care from people who know them by name,

not by file number.

Mentors, counselors, and friends

who stay through the ordinary days and the heavy ones.


Every child here learns they are known, wanted, and worth investing in.

Imagine what a child can do when the people around them never settle for enough.
We don't have to imagine. We've watched it for twenty-five years.

Hi, we're Children of Grace.

We are a faith-rooted ministry serving Uganda's orphaned and most vulnerable children through long-term, Christ-centered care. What began with one mother's plea has grown into a generation of Ugandan leaders — educators, nurses, and entrepreneurs transforming their communities from within. Over more than two decades, that calling has deepened into lasting partnerships with local schools, churches, and community leaders who walk alongside every child we serve.

​

We believe transformation is relational, not transactional. It is built through consistent education, daily care, spiritual formation, and leadership development that shape both the child and the community around them. We are not short-term aid. We are a generational investment — forming young men and women who will one day lead families, schools, churches, and communities of their own.

​

We do not replace the Church. We invite it to embody the Gospel in tangible, lasting ways — through the life of every child who learns, heals, and leads because someone chose to walk with them.

25 Years. The proof has names.

Our graduates are teachers, nurses, business owners, and leaders, in Jinja and far beyond it.
The work was theirs. We're grateful we got to walk part of the road with them.

The most meaningful way to honor someone

Gifts of Grace

Give in someone's name, and we'll send them a card they'll keep. Opens Giving Tuesday 2026.

Your generosity deserves a partner who stays.

Twenty-five years in the same community, accredited by the ECFA, and audited every year. Your gift is in faithful hands.

Here's to the ones who stay.

The mentor who remembers every name. The sponsor who writes back. The student who takes the long road and keeps walking. The graduate who leads, wherever she lands, and reaches back for the next one. The Grace Champion whose gift is there every month. Staying rarely makes headlines. It makes leaders.

Children of Grace. Someone stayed.
