African Hearts Community Organisation

African Hearts Community Organisation is a Christian NGO based in Uganda, East Africa. Founded in 2001, African Hearts began as a grassroots response to the growing crisis of children living on the streets of Kampala, many driven there by the loss of parents, family breakdown, violence, or hardship at home. Street life exposes these children to exploitation, abuse, addiction, and extreme poverty. In 2010, African Hearts became Engage Hope’s first Ugandan ministry partner, and the two organizations have walked closely together ever since.

Mission: To equip and protect children through sharing the love of Christ, so they become vibrant, confident, and secure individuals.

Vision: Every child thriving in their God-given potential, causing positive change in society.

Key Programs: 

• African Hearts Junior School – Serving over 500 boarding and day students, the school provides a holistic education including spiritual support, two daily meals, school supplies, healthcare, and extracurricular activities such as dance, music, chess, and sports.
• Sponsor-a-Child – Through Engage Hope, U.S. donors can sponsor children in African Hearts Community Organisation, providing Christian education, a daily meal, minor medical care, and life skills training.
• Daily Slum Feeding – Each day, African Hearts feeds 80–120 boys in Kisenyi Slum, sharing the gospel, teaching basic literacy, and providing minor medical care. Engage Hope funds daily meals and medical and dental procedures for the boys.
• Transition Home – A residential home in Ssenge housing up to 16 former street boys rescued from Kisenyi Slum. Boys receive shelter, food, education, discipleship, and support to reintegrate into society before transitioning into the African Hearts Junior School. Engage Hope funds the home’s monthly operations.
