Junior was taken off the streets by the government and taken to Kampiringisa National Rehabilitation Centre when he was young. For a better and good development, he has been transferred to Foodstep and has hope for the future again. Junior is a happy boy and does well in school.

Junior is supported by impact partner Foodstep Uganda

What does a day look like: In Uganda, the day starts early. The children have breakfast together with bread and tea, after which the children go to school. The older children stay in the children's home where they help with various chores. A number of children are at boarding school and are only home on weekends. When the younger children come back from school, they also help with the various chores. Of course, there is also time to relax, play games and do homework. In the evening, all the children come together to eat and pray. Dinner usually consists of rice, beans and vegetables. Once a week the children get chicken and once a week they get fish. The children receive acrobatics lessons which have a positive effect on their self-confidence and development and they also have worship evenings. Project information: Foodstep in Uganda was founded 16 years ago by the Belgian couple Werner and Nathalie. They were touched by the need of the many street children, children from the children's prison and severely neglected children. They started in their own home, first with 2, then 15 and finally 50 children. They decided to buy a piece of land and create a warm house on it. Together with a team of social workers, foster mothers, staff for administration, cooks, drivers, pastor, etc., Foodstep has grown into a beautiful, safe and loving place for the children. All children who live there have been placed there by child protection and the judge, their situation was untenable. Children at Foodstep all go to school, receive good medical care, nutritious meals, social care but above all a lot of love! Your support provides your sponsor child with daily food, education and school materials, housing and medical care, so that the children have a great future perspective and they can realize their dream.
