About Us
Our Purpose
Child Crisis Center Uganda, (CCCU) is a non-profit organization operating out of both Uganda and the United States. The organization is women-founded and started in 2017. Our efforts have led us to concentrate on Magooli, Uganda which is located along the Equator in the Namayingo District in Eastern Uganda.
The mission of CCCU is to execute relief for the poor, the distressed and the underprivileged by providing opportunities to support education and hope for children in Uganda.
The Harsh Realities of Living in Uganda
- 50% of the population in Uganda are ages 15 and under
- The median age for both men and women in the country is 15 - 16 years old
- 57% of children ages 15 to 24 years have NOT completed primary education. A large number of children live in slums without proper food or drink. As a result, many of these children are addicted to sniffing glue to stifle their hunger
- Children born with HIV/AIDS (6.5% est of population in 2016) are rejected by society. Many are in the care of aging and poor grandparents
- 76% of the population lives in rural areas
Child Crisis Center Uganda seeks to provide relief for children in the form of food, water, shelter, sanitary living conditions, medical care and educational support.
