MISSION

Restoring the lives of orphans & vulnerable children in Uganda

From experiencing child abuse and orphanage, to being forced into child labour, too many children fall victim to hardship that is out of their control. Amber Foundation was starter with the goal of giving all children in Uganda a fair and equal chance at life.

MEET

Mukisa Elisa

8 years old

Before he was brought to Amber Foundation, Elisa lived at the extreme end of Wakiso district where his step mother tortured and abused him. He has missed several years of study because of his abuse and the economic stress on his family.

Since joining Amber Foundation, Elisa has started home schooling (due to COVID-19) and has grown to be very diligent and compassionate. With further mentoring from his friends and the Foundation’s community, it is still possible to put a light in his future.

CHILDREN

TEAM

We are dedicated to the wellbeing & development
of children across Uganda

Most children in Uganda are born into poverty and have little to no control over their own health, education and quality of life. Volunteering with Amber Foundation has given me a platform to create impact through providing resources to these under privileged children.Jackie Namalwa

Ambrose Mulinda

Founder

Ambrose was born in the slums of Kyebando, a small town in Uganda. The slums were a hard place to grow up – they were always congest and poorly built, but taught me about unity, love and sharing. His mother always told him how she was lifted by others and this has been always in his mind and heart.

When Ambrose was young, his mother was given flour as a gift from the local church and started baking chapatis, donuts and other small pastries which she sold around the village to make a living. When Ambrose was seven, he started selling these baked goods around the village to help her.

Ambrose learned from a young age the importance of hard work and at 21 was the first in his family to receive a Bachelors degree from Kyambogo University. With the little money he earned from working after his degree, he started helping others in his community.

Now, Ambrose is dedicating his life to helping others.

Mukoota Primrose

Co-founder

Primrose Mukoota was born in Nansana, Uganda, and has been part of Amber Foundation since the start. She is inspired by the joy and love she gets from caring for children and those around her. Primrose enjoys baking and has started teaching the children at the foundation to bake, too.

Being the eldest in a family of 6, Primrose has been caring for others since she was young. Recently, her father sadly passed away due to COVID-19 so understands the struggles and pain that young orphaned children must face and wants to help them by giving them a “brighter hope for tomorrow”.

DONATIONS

Providing food, shelter, clothing and education to the orphaned children of Uganda

Amber Foundation needs around $115 USD per child per month to cover their basic needs for food, shelter, health and education. Here is how you can help sponsor a child:

• $5 = food for a week
• $10 = medical bills for a month
• $35 = provide basics for a child
• $63 = provide education for a month
• $100 = help us build an orphanage

We are also raising $23,000 USD to set up a permanent orphanage. The money will be used to buy land for crop farming, which will help us harvest food to feed the children. We will also be able to provide children vocational training that will help them go into the world better prepared.https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d1510.7755495029824!2d32.54486202819731!3d0.35771393993295725!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x177dbb5085797d59%3A0xcaeaa20f8ad6672d!2sNansana%20Division%20Office!5e0!3m2!1sen!2suk!4v1629050501581!5m2!1sen!2suk
