You Can Help the Children of Northern Uganda by Sponsoring their Future

We believe that education can empower the children of Africa and transform their Futures.

Give Hope Today

Our work depends on your donations. When you donate to TCAF, you're making a personal investment in the life and future of an orphan, former child soldier, or other vulnerable child in Northern Uganda. Your support has a direct and lasting impact.

I have a question that’s not answered here.

For any other questions, please contact us and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Are other people/groups sponsoring the child I’m sponsoring?

No. Only one sponsor is assigned to each child. You are welcome to sponsor more than one child.

I need to stop my contributions. What happens to my sponsored child?

We understand that there may be urgent reasons why you need to stop sponsoring a child. If you must stop your contribution, we will attempt to find a new donor to take over for your child. Anytime you wish to start contributing again, you are welcome to do so.
