About Us

We provide school fees, 3 meals a day, school uniforms, supplies, shoes, clothes, medical care, tutoring, mentoring and a football club.

The Boys’ Home
We currently rent a house in Jinja which serves as a house for 13 of our boys that don’t have families, and as a ‘youth centre’ for all the boys. The boys who still live with their families come to the house every day and it has become a place that they all call ‘home’.

We have a full-time house manager and a house mother to oversee the house and be positive influences in the boys’ lives. They also provide after-school tutoring.

On Saturdays we have a ‘family’ lunch which all the 1moreChild boys attend. Afterwards we have a football match or play various games at the house.

It is also a place where we can invite other children still on the street. On Tuesday evenings and Sundays, the house is open for any street children to come and have a meal.

Mentoring
Our belief is that children need the basic needs mentioned above in order to function well at school and that education is imperative for success in today’s world. However, in our opinion, mentoring is the key to being able to face the hardship, corruption and challenges in Ugandan life today. Our staff spend hours each week investing into the lives of the children individually and in groups, teaching them values like honesty, respect, integrity and leadership. We believe, to do this effectively, the children need role models from their own tribe. As a result we have purposefully recruited successful Karamajong young men with a desire to work with vulnerable children from their own tribe.

Home visits
One of our core values is a commitment to keep children in their original families wherever possible. As a result, we undertake regular home visits to assess family situations and provide meals, mattresses and mosquito nets to a number of children in their own homes.
