Founded 2018

Yamba

Yamba ChildCare was established in 2014 in Bwambara, a rural village in Rukungiri District - South Western Uganda. The ministry was founded with a mission, "To empower orphans and other vulnerable children (OVC's) with education, healthcare, socio-emotional support, spiritual growth for holistic child development".

The ministry that started with one orphan, now serves 107 kids providing education resources, through vibrant programs such as an after-school program, a summer camp, a child sponsorship program and feeding program, which all target children and youth who have dropped out of school and are in dire need of academic support.

Keneth returned to Yamba Childcare to provide leadership and capacity to build this ministry after graduating from the UPI fellowship program in 2018.

Sponsorship Program Details

When you sponsor a child or youth through UrbanPromise International, you change a child’s life forever! With your support, our ministries are able to reach the children and youth in their communities through holistic programs. Children and youth have the opportunity to grow spiritually, socially, academically, and physically. Our ministries act as family for these children and youth, many of whom are coming from lifestyles of extreme poverty, broken homes, abuse, and circumstances that hold them back from their God-given potential.

When you sponsor a child or youth with UrbanPromise International, you become a part of their extended family around the world. Helping them break free from the chains of their circumstances, and giving them the opportunity to hope for a brighter future.
