Who We Are

About Childcare

Childcare Support and Education Organisation (Childcare) is a women-led NGO transforming the lives of vulnerable children, youth, and women in rural communities of Uganda. Since 2014, we have supported over 1,200 children from nursery through university, including school dropouts, child mothers, OVCs, and children from low-income families, ensuring they gain real access to education, health, and pathways to stable livelihoods.

85% of supported children transition Nursery → Primary → Secondary (vs. 60% district average)
12 alumni currently in university or vocational training
3 alumni now employed as teachers and health workers
1,200+ children supported from nursery through university since 2014

Registered both in Uganda and the United States (501(c)(3)), we bridge gaps for low-income families with full financial accountability. Our five years of audited financials and transparent reporting have earned us partnerships with organisations like the Rotary Club of Greater Van Nuys, which funded our expansion into WaSH programs in 2021.

Through this partnership, we built 2 gender-segregated latrines and 1 water point across 3 rural schools, reducing girls' absenteeism by 40%.
