Why we Exist!
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Northern Uganda endured a devastating conflict led by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). This war left deep scars—widespread poverty, the rise of HIV/AIDS, and countless widows and orphans. Communities were uprooted, and access to education and healthcare became painfully limited.
Even today, Northern Uganda remains one of the most underserved regions in the country. Many children are out of school, and those who attend often struggle to afford even the most basic school supplies. Medical care is often far away or too expensive for families to access.
Beyond the physical needs, many young hearts feel lost—lacking a sense of identity, purpose, and the joy of knowing Jesus. Challenges like alcohol abuse, drugs, and teenage pregnancies have become common, dimming the hope of a better future.
That’s why TK Uganda was born. We exist to restore broken stories, guide children to their identity in Christ, and offer practical help through education, food, medical care, and loving discipleship. We believe every child deserves to know they are not forgotten—that Jesus is truly with them.
