Transforming the quality of life of the impoverished and most needy children, families and communities in Uganda; giving them hope and empowerment to lead a better life.
— Mission of StarsUganda

About Us

The mission of StarsUganda is to provide rescue, healing and hope to abused and neglected children in Uganda. We work to provide our “Shining Little Stars” with a safe, healthy environment to live and grow. We fulfill the most basic needs of children with critical nourishment for their bodies, minds and souls. We love them, protect them and remind them they are worthy, priceless and deserving of the best start in life.

StarsUganda is a non-profit organization based in Jinja-Uganda. We operate under the umbrella of H.E.L.P. International, an NGO (nongovernmental organization) based in Colorado, with 20 years of experience focused on community development in Uganda. Our affiliation with H.E.L.P. International has proven critical in securing access to, and acceptance from, high-level government officials and religious organizations already familiar with the work of H.E.L.P.

H.E.L.P. International is our fiscal sponsor, yet we are a financially independent organization, meaning all donations come directly to the StarsUganda bank account. We are fully responsible for managing expenses and resources.
