Child Sponsorship
Sponsor a child in Uganda
We are a small, young foundation in Uganda. Many children in our community cannot afford school fees, uniforms, or daily meals. Your gift – any amount – goes directly to the child’s school or family. We track every shilling and give you honest reports.
Sponsorship is not just about money. It is a sacred relationship. You write letters, receive photos, and watch a child grow in faith and knowledge. You become part of their family, and they become part of yours.
Why sponsor a child in Uganda?
“If you can’t feed a hundred people, feed just one.” Your sponsorship – no matter the amount – changes one child’s life. You put your faith into action, build a real relationship, and follow Matthew 25: feed the hungry, clothe the naked, welcome the stranger.
Your sponsored child receives Catholic education, daily meals, a school uniform, supplies, clean water, faith formation, and – if in boarding – a safe home. You receive letters, photos, and the joy of seeing your child grow.
How child sponsorship works at OKWAGALA
Simple, transparent, and life‑changing. You decide how much to give. If you give less than the full need, we combine your gift with others. No pressure, no fixed fees – just open hearts.

Start your sponsorship
Decide your amount – any gift is welcome. Your donation goes into OKWAGALA’s account, then to the child’s school.
Build a relationship
Exchange letters, photos, and even videos. You will see your child grow in faith and education.
Day or boarding school
Day school sponsorship helps children who live at home. Boarding school provides a safe home for orphans or those with no one to care for them. You choose.
