Atwagala Children’s Village (formerly Children of light foundation) is a community-based organization located in Nawampiti Village, Luuka District, dedicated to restoring hope, dignity, and opportunity to the most vulnerable members of our community. Every day, we extend a helping hand to orphans, children with disabilities, street-connected children, and families living in extreme poverty, many of whom are deeply affected by the long-standing impact of HIV/AIDS.

In Uganda, the effects of HIV/AIDS, alongside poverty and other social challenges, have left countless children orphaned, vulnerable, and exposed to stigma, neglect, and emotional trauma. At Atwagala Children’s Village, we are committed to changing this narrative. Our mission is to provide a safe, caring, and inclusive environment where every child is valued, protected, and given the chance to thrive free from discrimination and fear.

Through our holistic, community-driven approach, we address both immediate needs and long-term empowerment. We provide basic necessities such as food, clothing, education support, and medical care, while also promoting mental health and emotional healing for children affected by loss, abuse, and HIV/AIDS-related challenges.

Our work extends into the community, where we actively promote better health and sanitation practices like training households to create simple solutions like local plate stands and latrine covers to improve hygiene and prevent disease. We also empower adolescents with vital knowledge on sexual and reproductive health, HIV/AIDS awareness, and life skills, equipping them to become responsible, informed, and resilient future leaders.

Despite these efforts, the need continues to grow and we cannot do this alone.

Your support can help us provide life-saving care, restore dignity, and create lasting change in the lives of vulnerable children and their families. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope, healing, and a brighter future closer to a child in need.

Together, we can break the cycle of poverty, fight stigma, and build a generation that thrives.

Donate today and help us give every child a chance to live, grow, learn and dream.

Sincerely,

Atwagala Children’s Village
