The most important thing…
…for Kids of Africa will always be our long-term mission. Not only to put destitute children back on their feet, but much rather to foster their confidence, their sense of responsibility and their ability to look after themselves and their families. Above all, this long-term goal requires three fundamental elements:
- A caring and dignified family environment. This is where confidence develops.
- Good health. One of the most important conditions for the independent developments. We foster good health through a balanced, healthy diet and regular physical exercise.
- Education: We emphasize practical education which focuses on the most promising employment opportunities in the Ugandan context.
Establishing a sustainable institution for needy children and best development –aid practices within the better and the spirit of Uganda law. Summarizes the challenge we face. In long-term nature requires patience, persistence and a stable funding-base. This long-term nature is also our best chance for having a long-term sustainable impact. Yes, we can create a better future for many!
Reaching out
Any ordinary favor we do for someone or any compassionate reaching out may seem to be going nowhere at first, but may be planting a seed we can't see right now. Sometimes we need to just do the best we can and then trust in an unfolding we can't design or ordain.

Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.
