We are a very small team – mostly volunteers ourselves. Your help, whether in Uganda or from home, would be a huge blessing. You can use your skills to help children, or simply offer your time and heart.
We need people to help with writing, social media, fundraising, and administration. If you live in Uganda, you can also visit our partner schools and assist with tutoring or childcare.
In‑country (Uganda): you can help at our partner schools – teaching, playing with children, or assisting with meals. Remote: you can write blog posts, design simple flyers, help with email, assist with grant writing, or start a fundraising campaign. We welcome any skill you have – even just praying for us.
If you are in Uganda or willing to travel, you can work directly with our partner schools and communities in Central and Northern Uganda. Tutoring, construction, kitchen help, or just playing with children – every bit helps.
No matter where you live, you can help with writing, social media, graphic design, prayer support, or fundraising. We will send you materials and work with you online.
Follow these steps to join our small team.
Think about what you like to do – writing, speaking, organizing, drawing, teaching, or just being kind. All talents are useful.
Send us an email telling us how you would like to help. We will reply within a few days.
We will give you a short orientation and then connect you with tasks. You can begin making a difference immediately.
We are a small, young Catholic foundation in Uganda. Our mission is to help children stay in school, provide meals, and support seminarians, nuns, and the elderly. We are not yet registered, but we are honest. Every gift of any amount goes directly to those in need.
You can sponsor a child, a seminarian, or a nun – any amount helps. You can also volunteer remotely (writing, social media) or in Uganda if you visit. You can start a fundraiser, share our story, or simply pray for us. Contact us to discuss how you’d like to help.
Your donation is deposited into our Uganda bank account. We then pay the child’s school directly or buy food, uniform, or supplies. We keep simple records and share them with you. No middlemen, no hidden fees – just honest help.
Not at this time. We are a young foundation still working on registration. We are honest about this – your gift will still go directly to a child in need, but you cannot claim a tax deduction. We will update everyone once we are registered.
You can help from anywhere: writing blog posts, managing social media, designing simple flyers, or helping with fundraising. If you live in Uganda or plan to visit, you can spend time at our partner schools. Email us at OKWAGALA.operations@okwagalaforchildren.org to start.
