Give Uganda's Children the Gift of Education
About
American Aid provides vital support for over 500 orphaned and vulnerable children in rural Butebo District, Uganda, where poverty rates reach 35.7% - one of the highest in the country's eastern region. Your donation provides education, nutritious meals, and essential care for children and widowed caregivers struggling to survive on less than $2 per day. Through holistic support, we're creating lasting change in one of Uganda's most impoverished communities.
Need
In Butebo, Uganda, extreme poverty grips local communities, with families surviving on less than $2 daily through subsistence farming. Orphaned children and widowed mothers face the harshest conditions, often choosing between food and education. Without access to clean water, proper healthcare, or educational resources, these families struggle daily. Children miss school to help with farming, while widowed mothers work tirelessly to provide even necessities, perpetuating the cycle of poverty.
Long term impact
Our holistic approach is transforming Butebo District. Students who once couldn't attend school are now thriving, while widowed mothers run successful small businesses. Through education and empowerment, we're creating a new generation of community leaders. Every child we support today becomes tomorrow's change-maker - future teachers, healthcare workers, and entrepreneurs who will lift their communities out of poverty.
