In Uganda, thousands of orphans and vulnerable children go to bed hungry each night. For these children, hunger is not just a discomfort — it’s a barrier to education, health, and the hope of a brighter future. At Orphan Aid Uganda, we believe that no child should have to choose between learning and eating, or between survival and growth.
The Reality of Hunger Among Orphans
Many orphans in Uganda live with extended family members or in child-headed households where food is scarce. Without consistent nutrition, children face stunted growth, weakened immunity, and difficulty concentrating in school. For some, a single daily meal is a luxury they can’t afford.
Our Feeding Program
To address this urgent need, Orphan Aid Uganda runs a Child Feeding Program designed to provide orphans and vulnerable children with nutritious meals every day.
Our approach is simple but impactful:
- Daily School Meals – ensuring children have the energy to learn and stay in school.
- Community Feeding Days – bringing children together for healthy meals, fun activities, and social support.
- Nutrition Education – teaching children and caregivers about balanced diets and healthy living.
We partner with local farmers and suppliers to source fresh produce and staple foods, supporting the local economy while nourishing young lives.
More Than Just a Meal
Feeding a child does more than fill an empty stomach. It:
- Improves concentration and academic performance
- Reduces school dropout rates
- Strengthens health and immunity
- Restores dignity and hope
For many children in our program, a meal provided by Orphan Aid Uganda is the most reliable food they receive all day.
How You Can Help
Feeding an orphan in Uganda costs as little as $1 per meal. Your support can:
- Fund daily school lunches for a month
- Provide food packages to child-headed households
- Expand our feeding program to reach more children in need
Every meal you give is an investment in a child’s future.
