Leadership Circle Report May 2021

In 2015, Children of Uganda (COU) established The Leadership Circle to commemorate our 20th anniversary year of service and to recognize our most loyal and generous donors beyond sponsorship.

Each organization or individual honored below has demonstrated time and again their unparalleled generosity on behalf of our children, their families and impoverished communities across Uganda. COU’s widespread impact in education, livelihood support, healthcare, empowerment and more over the span of our 27-year history would not have been possible without this special group of people.

They are truly leaders who have paved the way for remarkable good in the lives of those we serve and the world as a whole.

A Note From Our Members

“We are excited to participate in helping children and their families through Children of Uganda. We have seen, over our many years of support, the difference a quality education and loving care has made in the lives of these young people. We love reading letters from the students and discovering what they are passionate about.

Supporting women in their efforts to become more independent financially and to help their families become more secure as a result of their hard work is very uplifting. Hearing these success stories and seeing the progress they are making with the small gifts that they are given is motivation enough to continue our support.

Making a small difference in one person’s life is important – so that they can go on to help others and keep passing it on. Thank you to Children of Uganda for this tremendous work. It is our joy to walk alongside you in these efforts.”
