About Light of African Child Uganda

"10 Years of hope and education for unprivileged children"

Our Story

Light of African Child Uganda is a fully registered non-government organization located in Kawempe, Migalu Zone, a suburb of Kampala, Uganda. The organization was founded in 2016 by Male Hamid, who was then a student at Kampala International University pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Mass Communication.

The idea of starting the organization came from a desire to support orphans and other underprivileged children who lack access to basic needs, including education, clothing, and a safe environment in which to grow. What began as a small community effort has grown into an initiative that works with different communities to bring hope and support to vulnerable children.

Light of African Child Uganda is guided by strong values of equity, transparency, accountability, and integrity in all our work.
