ABOUT US

Ukids Initiative is the first non-profit organization in Uganda that directly supports single mothers. The stigma around single motherhood is a shame, backed by the community’s perception that life will always be hard thereon once one becomes a single mother. We believe differently. Many factors like early marriages, economic factors, polygamy, health, death, illiteracy, and ambition lead to this status of being a single mother. Girls should be allowed a second chance. At Ukids, we empower single mothers through technology, continuous learning, and unlearning to transform their lives. We aim to support and offer them opportunities to contribute to their communities.

HOW WE DO IT

EDUCATE

Education is crucial for economic development, poverty alleviation, and social progress. We believe that education empowers individuals with knowledge and skills, promoting better job opportunities and improved living standards. Education fosters critical thinking, civic responsibility, and gender equality, and by investing in education, we aim to build a more informed and capable force of mothers and families, driving national growth and stability.

EMPOWER

Empowerment through creative skills enhances personal and community growth. It fosters innovation, self-expression, and problem-solving abilities encouraging single mothers and young adults to explore self-sufficiency. Through supporting creative skills, Ukids aims to boost confidence and resilience, enabling individuals to overcome challenges and pursue their passions, ultimately promoting cultural preservation, social cohesion, and diverse perspectives.

ELEVATE

Elevating single mothers through creative support initiatives is crucial for their well-being and societal contribution. We elevate the living standards of single mothers and their families by providing financial aid, education, and job training, enhancing their economic stability and self-sufficiency. Access to healthcare and childcare services reduces stress and improves quality of life. Support networks and flexible work options offer emotional and practical assistance, fostering resilience and confidence.

Ukids gave me the support I needed to get my life together and back running again. I had no job, and my kids were struggling with school. After the outreach, the organization assisted me in placing my kids in school and they asked me what I wanted to do, at the time, I didn’t know, but they mentored me to be able to find what I actually love to do. Knowing that they are there fore me is just enough. Thank you.

I’m now able to afford school and learn what I want which is hairdressing with the help of Ukids. The organization came to my community and they offered programs like pad making, chalk making, and I chose what I love the most – hair dressing. The organization has supported me in my endeavors – I hope to open a salon one day.
