Our Journey of Empowerment and Hope
Since 1992, we’ve been dedicated to transforming the lives of vulnerable children in Uganda through education, healthcare, and community support.
ABC Children’s AID was founded in 1992 as Uganda Australia Foundation (UAF), with a mission to improve the quality of life for Uganda’s most vulnerable. Starting with education and relief support, UAF laid the foundation for its future as a global force for child welfare.
In 1993, UAF was officially registered as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). This milestone enabled us to formalize our operations and expand our impact across Uganda, focusing on education and healthcare for orphans and vulnerable children.
2002 was a pivotal year as UAF launched its flagship ABC Nursery School and the Kitetika Medical Clinic. These facilities, inaugurated by the First Lady of Uganda, Mrs. Janet Museveni, and the Prime Minister, laid the groundwork for further expansion in education and healthcare.
By 2005, UAF expanded its projects to include community healthcare and agricultural initiatives. The Rackoko Health Centre was upgraded, and agricultural programs were established to support local farmers, promoting food security for vulnerable families.
In 2010, Uganda Australia Foundation rebranded to ABC Children’s AID, reflecting its broader mission and commitment to serving children across Uganda. With a renewed focus on education, healthcare, and relief, the organization continues to empower future generations.
ABC Children’s AID introduced the SCAP (School Community Assistance Program) in 2018 to provide targeted support to schools in rural areas, including scholarships, infrastructure development, and teacher training.
From our humble beginnings to the impactful organization we are today, ABC Children’s AID continues to transform lives across Uganda. Help us continue our journey by getting involved.
