THE PROJECT

We’re committed to improving the lives of the children through education and a higher standard of living.

We’re small and uniquely different from larger charities operating here in Africa. We pride ourselves on being able to show our visitors and donors exactly where their money is being spent. We have the advantage of being able to spend the large majority of donations received directly on the children and their educational needs

Loving Hearts Uganda was founded by Atukunda Didan. We started with 16 orphans and now have over 210 registered needy children under the care of Loving Hearts Helping Hands Uganda We’re small and uniquely different from larger charities operating here in Africa. We pride ourselves on being able to show our visitors and donors exactly where their money is being spent. We have the advantage of being able to spend the large majority of donations received directly on the children and their educational needs The loss of one parent in Uganda is tantamount to orphanage, the loss of one or both parents typically causes severe limitations on the ability to generate income. In turn this has a significant, negative impact on the well-being and social mobility of the child. A child who has lost one parent is referred to as a ‘single orphan’ and a child who has lost both parents is referred to as a ‘double orphan’. Where possible orphans are brought under the care of a relative and this arrangement is facilitated and managed by Loving Hearts Uganda. Loving Hearts needs all the help and support we can get, we can do so much with so little and you can be a part of that.
