Founded in 2009, US2UGANDA4life is a grassroots 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to supporting Ugandan children and young adults. Today, we nurture over 200 children and young adults across primary and secondary schools, vocational programs, and universities. Seeing these children grow, graduates and enter the workforce has been a tremendous blessing. We invite you to explore our site, discover what resonates with you, and consider joining us on this impactful journey.

Our financial model relies on child sponsorship at $38.00 per month to cover a significant portion of our expenses. Support from friends, family, and corporate partners makes up the balance. Herbert, a program graduate with a computer science degree, shares his story in the video to highlight the impact of sponsorship. Then see why Jennifer chooses to sponsor Hassan.

24/7 commitment to our children's needs is possible with the leadership of Peter and Rose Mukongo. They head our in-country organization, Suubi Lyabanna, translating to "hope for the children" in Ugandan. This power couple, once supported by Compassion International as children, now dedicates their lives to giving back.

We love it when people choose to join us on a trip to Uganda to make a difference in the lives of the children, we are even more excited to see how the children make a difference in their lives. Ally Greene is a frequent visitor. Check out her video then click on the trips tab.

People are always curious about how the funds are managed. In brief, US2UGANDA4life operates entirely with volunteer leadership, and there are no paid positions. Every sponsorship dollar goes directly to projects in Uganda. Operational costs, like bank fees, web hosting, in country staffing and overhead expenses are covered by corporate donations, family and friends. All trip expenses are paid by participants personally and usually provide funding for small projects.
