81% of the refugees are women and children, some of these women are widowed by the wars but have families to fend for. The refugees depend on subsistence farming but due to the most recent influx of refugees from the Congo, there is no more land for farming. Most families are forced to entirely depend on the monthly food aid of $8 per head from UNHCR. These families; therefore face many challenges in the new environment; they lack quality medical care, enough food, shelter, and most importantly, means to educate their children.
Kawi Child Foundation is a family-based, non-profit organization established in 2023 in Vvumba - Luwero, Uganda. We are dedicated to improving the lives of underprivileged children through education, healthcare, and community support.
