Our mission in Uganda is to assist children in to becoming self sufficient and productive members of their communities. AAA has two offices in Uganda, one in the north (Gulu) and another in the southern Capital city of Kampala. Torn by 18 years of fighting, there are now children living in Uganda that have known nothing but war during their lifetime. At the heart of our work in Uganda are programs to ease human suffering, and provide children with opportunities to complete their education. AAA works with over 3,500 children in Uganda providing programs in preventative health, counseling to deal with traumatic stress, and educational, social and recreation opportunities. The children enrolled in our sponsorship programs come from families decimated by war and disease. Many have lost one or both parents, been victims of abduction by armed rebel militias, and endured many other hardships.

The Alliance for African Assistance child sponsorship program provides children with assistance in completing their basic education, paying school tuition, purchasing necessary scholastic materials, and providing for proper nutrition and health care.
