This program’s mission is to care for at-risk and impoverished children. Placements are available at three child centers in these locations: Jinja, Mukono, and Pallisa. These childcare centers include primary, secondary, and vocational schools, a special needs unit, and a clinic. They cater to infants and teens, from 4 weeks to 16 years old. The schools cater to children and adults from local communities. Volunteers play a major role in providing all aspects of care and assisting with the organization's (and facility's) operational activities. The children’s centers are run under religious beliefs. Although they don't require the same values, they ask volunteers to be courteous of their beliefs.
