Why Volunteer with Child Care Foundation Uganda?
At the heart of CCF Uganda is a mission to empower vulnerable children, single mothers, widows, and persons with disabilities through education, healthcare, and community development. Volunteering with us goes beyond lending a helping hand, it’s about restoring hope, spreading love, and building a future of dignity and opportunities.
As the proverb reminds us: “Blessed is the hand that gives, rather than the one that takes.”
Your time and presence will bring lasting impact not only to the communities we serve, but also to your own journey of growth, learning, and service.
