Formerly known as Martha's Kids, this NGO has helped countless children find a safe place to call home, away from the fear of violence and starvation.


About Ugandan Street Children

The epidemic of street children in Uganda and other places is a global issue. 44% of street children in Uganda connect with the streets between the ages of 5 and 10. Children whose families cannot provide for them will spend their days (and sometimes their nights) on the streets. Children who sleep on the streets often huddle together for warmth and protection. While on the streets during the day, common activities for children include searching for food in the garbage, begging, searching for pieces of scrap metal that can be sold, and finding small tasks to do in exchange for food and money.
