First-Ever Support for Bezi Island

Isolated between Kayenze and Ukerewe, Bezi Island faces poverty, unstable livelihoods, and limited access to services. Our outreach is the first of its kind here bringing hope, resources, and a promise of a brighter future.

Health Insurance for Bezi Children

We’ve provided government health insurance to 21 children of Bezi Primary School. For families who often can’t afford treatment during frequent disease outbreaks, this coverage is a lifeline ensuring that when illness strikes, care is within reach.

Equipping Young Learners

From worn-out sacks to brand new school bags, 15 children at Bezi Primary now carry their books with pride. With new uniforms, shoes, and learning materials, they can attend school with confidence and dignity.

Empowering Bezi Girls in Secondary School

Every day, students from Bezi travel by ferry to Kayenze Secondary School. We’ve supported 14 girls with sanitary pads for three months helping them stay in class, avoid absenteeism, and continue their education with dignity.

Accomplished Programs

We have successfully implemented a range of programs aimed at providing educational, shelter, and counseling services to vulnerable children and women in our community. Through our dedicated efforts, we have made a significant impact on improving the lives and futures of those we serve.

Ongoing Programs

Our ongoing programs focus on providing essential services such as supporting schools and empowerment workshops to individuals and families in need. These programs are designed to offer continuous support and assistance to those facing various challenges in life.

Memorable Visits

On 15th January 2025 we were honored to host children and women we collaborate with at our KUF Mwanza offices. These inspiring interactions showcase the heart of our mission—making a meaningful difference in their lives.

Creating Impact

Every moment spent empowering individuals and families in our community is a step toward a brighter future. Through education, empowerment workshops, and ongoing support, we are building a foundation for lasting change.

The Launch of School Outreach Program on Domestic Violence

We have launched a school outreach program at Isenga Primary School in the Iloganzala area, Pasiansi ward, Ilemela District, Mwanza. The program aims to raise awareness among children about domestic violence, helping them identify the signs, understand the appropriate actions to take, and learn strategies for self-protection.

The initiative has received a positive response from the students, who have shown great interest in learning about these crucial issues.

"Empowering children with knowledge to build a safer future."
