Youth Outreach Uganda
The YOU Foundation is a Dutch foundation with ANBI status, established in May 2021 to make a difference in the lives of children in need in Uganda. The YOU Foundation aims to reach and support disadvantaged children and youth up to 21 years old, and the families around them. Currently, we are doing this in the Ugandan village of Lukumbi.
In early 2022, YOU began operations in the Ugandan village of Lukumbi, with a vision of a hopeful future for every child. This means that from the start, we wanted to become actively involved in the lives of the families in the village. To get to know the families, their living conditions, and their needs, we started the family support program. We regularly share stories from this program on our social media. From these encounters with the village families, we learned that many children in Lukumbi do not get the chance to go to school. We want to change this, and we do it together with you! Hence our slogan: "With YOU, we make a difference."
For whom
Every young person is valuable in the eyes of God. Their gifts and talents matter. The YOU Foundation wants to provide young people in hopeless situations with a safe, healthy, and loving environment where they have the opportunity to grow and flourish.
Our mission
We want every young person in Uganda to dream of a beautiful future. Together with God, we want to make this dream of the future a reality. YOU make a difference.
What we do
By providing acute and sustainable assistance in various forms, we aim for every young person to be meaningful in society.
