Construction Project
Housing is something most of us in Western Europe take for granted, but elsewhere in the world, it’s far from obvious. The street children of Uganda are living proof of this. Over the past decades, these children have been some of the most vulnerable victims of poverty, the HIV epidemic, war, and exploitation.
In addition to being left unprotected from the heat, tropical rains, and various forms of abuse, they lack the foundation needed for healthy development.
Since 2000, Koinonia has been working with street children and youth in Uganda. Through meals, follow-up, shelter, guidance, education, and rehabilitation, the organization cares for hundreds of children across different projects throughout the country. These children are rescued from garbage dumps, drugs, abuse, exploitation, and rejection. A dedicated team of local staff in Uganda—together with volunteers and faithful sponsors—forms the backbone of our fight against the suffering and extreme poverty these children face.
The building of new shelter and rehabilitation center is the next step. We would like to offer this to the children of Kabale, in southwestern of Uganda, as a foundation for their future life. At the same time, we invite you, your family, community, school, or business to join us in building this future. Your contribution, whether big or small, is truly life-changing!
