Our Work

Three programmes. One purpose.

Every programme we run exists because a family in Eastern Uganda needed it first. Here is exactly what your support funds.

Children supported through Musana's orphan care and education programme
01 — Orphan Care & Education

A home, a teacher, and someone who remembers their name

Children arrive to us having lost parents to illness, accidents or abandonment. We give them stability first: shelter, food, healthcare, and consistent caregivers. Then we build their future through Qur'an memorisation and Islamic studies alongside formal government-curriculum schooling, so they grow rooted in faith and equipped for life beyond it.

  • Residential and day care for orphaned children
  • Daily Qur'an and Islamic studies instruction
  • Primary and secondary school sponsorship
  • Three meals a day and routine healthcare
  • Counselling and emotional support
  • Life skills and mentorship as children grow older

Sponsor a child

For $30 a month, you can cover one orphan's housing, meals, education and Islamic studies in full. You'll receive updates on the child you sponsor.

02 — Women's Empowerment

Skills that outlast the donation

Widows and vulnerable mothers across our districts join months-long vocational training in tailoring and other trades. Graduates leave with a certified skill, a starter kit, and a savings group of fellow women who hold each other accountable long after training ends.

  • Tailoring and vocational skills training
  • Sewing machines and start-up kits on graduation
  • Small business and savings group formation
  • Ongoing mentorship and market linkage support

03 — Community Development

Water, food and shelter, the floor everything stands on

No amount of education or training matters if a family is sick from dirty water or has nowhere to sleep. We drill and repair boreholes, run community-wide feeding events, and rebuild shelter for families displaced by disaster or extreme poverty.

  • Borehole drilling and water point repair
  • Community feeding programmes and food drives
  • Emergency and permanent shelter construction
  • Ramadan and disaster relief distributions
