Empowering Vulnerable Children, Conserving Our Planet

Donation protected
Hello, I’m Colm Rooney, and I’m honored to share the inspiring work of my dear friend, Nantamba David, Co-Founder of the Tosiyo Helping Hands Foundation in Kampala, Uganda.

Our Mission:
At Tosiyo Helping Hands Foundation, we believe every child deserves a chance to thrive. We provide food, shelter, education, and hope to over 500 orphaned, disabled, and vulnerable children — while also nurturing our planet through sustainable farming and environmental conservation.

What We Do

Care for Children: Providing daily meals, safe homes, and access to education for hundreds of children in need.

Sustainable Farming: Using permaculture techniques to grow food, reduce hunger, and protect the environment.

Community Support: Empowering families and neighborhoods in Makindye, Kasawo, Nansana, and Kasese.

Environmental Stewardship: Planting trees, flowers, and gardens to combat climate change and promote biodiversity.

Our Dream: A Self-Sustaining Home and Farm

Currently, we lease land to run our programs. Our dream is to purchase our own property to create a permanent orphanage and permaculture farm — a loving, self-sustaining community where children can flourish, and nature thrives alongside them.

Why We Need Your Help
Your generosity will help us:

  • Acquire a large plot of land suitable for homes and farming.
  • Build permanent, safe homes for our children.
  • Expand our permaculture farm to grow nutritious food and reduce hunger.
  • Plant more trees and gardens to nurture the environment.

Our Goal: $35,000 USD
We’ve broken this goal into manageable phases so you can see exactly where your support goes:

Phase 1 — $10,000: Secure a deposit to purchase land.

Phase 2 — $15,000: Build permanent homes for the children.

Phase 3 — $10,000: Develop the permaculture farm and plant trees and gardens.

Every contribution, large or small, moves us closer to creating a safe, thriving home and sustainable food system.

Every Donation Counts
$10 feeds a child for a week.

$50 plants 10 trees that help clean the air and nourish the soil.

$100 supports a child’s education for a whole month.

Join Our Mission
Together, we can empower vulnerable children and protect our planet. Please consider making a donation today or sharing our vision with your network — every gift brings us closer to a brighter future.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support.
