Chances For Children Uganda

Chances For Children is a NGO orphanage based in Kampala, UGANDA. We house, educate and lovingly raise 56 orphans. Our vision is to build a permanent home for them and offer them guidance as they pursue their education and get established in life. We believe that very child has a fundamental right to parental care, a balanced varied diet, a roof over their head, clothes to wear, an education and a nurturing environment that cultivates independence and communal responsibility. The orphanage, which has been running for 5 years was founded by Martin Male. Martin himself was orphaned at a young age and lived on the streets of Kampala Uganda, scrounging for food and desperately fought to survive. He was eventually given a brighter future by a friendly lady that took him into her home and adopted him. She still supports the orphanage to this day, her name is Jane Nassuna. This opportunity inspired him to work his way through to higher education and then return to the streets and give the streets kids a chance in life, much as Jane had done for him. When the funds the children were counting on suddenly stopped in July 2014, Russell and Gabrielle Crump took on the challenge, on their personal funds at first. They built Chances for Children as a project that had been dreamed about for some years. The dream is to support these children in a self-subsistent manner, so that come what may, they would own their home, school, farm and farm animals and continue living and learning decently.
