Vision

To be in an inclusive world in which all children with disabilities live a healthy and vibrant life to their full potential.

Mission

We are committed to improving the quality of life of children with disabilities in Uganda.

Motivation

Our driving force are the many suffering lives in the communities that need intervention and a helping hand.

Our Story

St Jude Africa Children’s Foundation (JACF) was founded in 2019 and we work with local communities to develop strong, sustainable projects which meet local needs and help the communities to support the disabled children. In 2020, the organization was recognized by Jinja City Local Government as a C.B.O (JC/019/CBO/2021) and issued an operational permit. We currently look after disabled children offering them shelter, medical, education, and general welfare, and also interact with community children empowering them through different initiatives like sanitary pads and counseling. Our aim is to nurture the children and raise them as better citizens that will carry on the baton and the message of hope.

Objectives

Providing better health services to underprivileged children in Uganda.

Providing education and sponsorship to underprivileged children in the area.

Providing a safe environment where children with disability can be rehabilitated.

Setting up income-generating activities for caretakers of these disabled children.

About This Cause

St. Jude Africa Children’s Foundation is a compassionate non-profit organization committed to alleviating the suffering of Africa’s children. We understand the profound impact that illness and poverty can have on young lives, and we strive to make a difference by offering essential aid such as medical treatment, nourishment, shelter, educational tools, and overall well-being support. While our efforts extend to all disadvantaged children across Africa, our primary focus lies in aiding those battling Cancer, HIV/AIDS, and other debilitating conditions. Many of the families we assist are grappling with extreme poverty, often led by single mothers who lack the means to afford life-saving treatments for their ailing children. Beyond immediate relief, we work towards sustainable change by empowering families through the creation of income-generating opportunities. By fostering economic independence, we aim to provide ongoing support for these families as they navigate the challenges of caring for their sick children. The impact of your contribution cannot be overstated. Together, we can offer hope, relief, and healing to countless African children who desperately need our assistance. Join us in our mission to transform lives and bring lasting change to communities in need.”
