Project duration: Ongoing
Project's focus area: Tigers Club is a comprehensive program that addresses the complex needs of street children.

|
There are around 1,000 boys between the ages of 7 and 20 living on the streets of Kampala, Uganda. Many are orphaned or have been abandoned or abused. By building trust and an understanding of each boy’s circumstances and character, staff can facilitate a process by which children feel valued, gain confidence and accept support in equipping themselves with the social and educational tools they require to overcome the past, reintegrate into society and take the future into their own hands.

The Tigers Club boys benefit from a comprehensive set of services that includes a sports program, feeding and emergency refuge, medical care, a learning center, counseling, resettlement, foster care and microenterprise development. |
|
|
|
This project will encourage 850 boys currently living on the streets to realize their potential and make a transition from the streets back to family and community life. |

“I thank God for Tigers Club and all who support the work they are doing for us. I was without hope while on the streets but Tigers Club has made it possible to stand with hope for a bright future."
