We provide food, shelter, sanitation, tools and resources, school fees and medical needs for vulnerable children through child sponsorship, individual grants, organisational grants and fundraising in the UK. We work closely with our representatives and local agencies in Uganda to ensure that vulnerable children and their communities receive the vital support they desperately need.
You can help by sponsoring a child from £25 per month or by making a donation to support our work.

Everyday we reach out to the villages to assess and register ovcs, we follow the sponsorship selection criteria/check l ist and work with local leaders to identify who needs help in a particular. We also work with education centres or schools to also find who is badly in need of sponsorship. This is coupled with a number of villages or household visits to understand more about the child’s living conditions in regards to shelter, food security, income generating activity, access to safe and clean water and the ability to meet school requirements and fees.
We have progressed well in the recent months after registration in July 2020. We started with 10 children last year in July but now we have reached more than 100 children on sponsorship. However, there is still great need in the rural areas of sponsorship after slowly grasping the value of education.
Available evidence suggests that often, OVC and their caregivers are caught up in a cycle of poverty which has a direct correlation with worsening wellbeing.
Furthermore, existing knowledge indicate gaps in economic opportunities and nutrition practices among communities and families that further compound children’s vulnerability.
Forever Foundation seeks to empower OVC households economically by identifying the resources they have and what is missing and then bridge the gaps by providing support to effectively use the available resources to generate income for their survival. This shall be done through resource mapping and VSLA groups.
The provision of care and support to OVCs is yet another neglected area due to limited resources; government has relegated the provision of emergency support services to a few civil society organizations. The high fertility rate of 6.9 percent has resulted into a high population growth rate of 3.2 percent, an aspect which constrains available resources for families to provide minimal basic care and support to their children. Coupled with the fact that the poor are much more inclined to produce many children, child vulnerability in Uganda is likely to continue unabated unless effective family planning interventions are adopted.
Forever Foundation shall take support and care for OVCs as a focal point because we are working towards becoming parents and caretakers for those whose parents died and those who’re unable to look after themselves because of circumstances beyond their control like the current harsh climatic conditions that has resulted into strong famine in the area, such families are in urgent need for food and other household supplies.
