Kids First works in Kampala, Uganda to inspire, empower, and equip women, children, and families to reach their God-given potential in a supportive and loving community. We are a Christian organization that aims to empower and benefit women and children to build a strong community, We encourage, uplift, and create an environment where women, children, and youth can, through education, skills devel
opment, employment opportunities, and development of talents and freedom of expression, reach their individual potential. We stand by God’s promise that he has “plans to give hope and a future” - Jeremiah 19:11
Our non-profit work extends to all people, regardless of their religious beliefs, gender, age, race, or ethnic background. Kids First Uganda, being cognizant of the fact that there is a need to advance education and vocational training in Uganda, and aware that we have a calling as Christians to contribute to the spiritual, physical, economic, and social development as well as emotional support particularly to the underprivileged, we came together to form this organization to address these concerns of the communities of which we are privileged to reach. All they need is an opportunity: to create, to learn, to explore the world, to grow their talents, and to develop their own resources for success in a supportive and uplifting environment. We work alongside women and children to equip and empower them, to encourage creativity which can help an individual to overcome their circumstances, and achieve their full potential. On a larger scale, we work within communities to uplift and encourage relationships between families, and to reach out to disengaged youth. We hope that the achievements of those with whom we work will reach further, to change the stereotype of an African child. We believe this will inspire local youth to aspire to and achieve more and will open doors for an opportunity as the rest of the world starts to see Africa as a vibrant source of creativity and development.
