My story

Ashley lives with her mother and three brothers. Her father left the family for another woman and now lives in another village. Mother cannot provide the children with their daily food and thanks to sponsorship, the children receive at least one hot meal a day. Ashley likes to play with other children and wants to become a doctor later on.

Ashley is supported by impact partner Project Foodstep

Foodstep in Uganda was founded 16 years ago by the Belgian couple Werner and Nathalie. They were touched by the distress of the many street children, children from the children's prison and severely neglected children. They started in their own home with 2, then 15 and eventually 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 the administration, cooks, drivers, pastor, etc., Foodstep has grown into a beautiful, safe and loving place for the children. All the 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 help, nutritious meals, social care but above all a lot of love!
