Who we are
Since 2005, JOY FOR CHILDREN UGANDA has been championing the rights of all children to live peacefully & without exploitation, to benefit from quality free education, to thrive in economic security & justice, and to prosper with access to clean water, good health care, & nutrition.
From working directly with communities in Uganda to advocacy at the international level, Joy for Children acts as a Bridge providing project implementation & services for international organizations who require local knowledge & expertise from a trusted Partner who also understands & works in the global development arena.
As an organization, we have served as leaders on a number of societal issues that impact the children, and relish a challenge to change out-dated paradigms & usher in new ways that benefit & elevate all.
What we do
Community Systems Strengthening
We supports religious and cultural institutions, Community-Based Organizations and community groups, educational institutions and political leaders to mitigate social and cultural norms that perpetuate the practice of Violence Against Children in society.
Child education rights
We work on ensuring that children, especially those from vulnerable and marginalized communities, can access and complete their education . We support these children by providing school fees and scholastic materials.
Child Psychosocial and legal support
We provide psychosocial and legal support to child survivors of violence, aiming to mitigate the impact of the violence against children and improve access to health services.
Child Rights Advocacy
We advocate for child-related laws and policies at district, national and international levels through research and analysis; building strategic partnerships with organizations and institutions with mutual interest; and lobbying with decision makers at the different levels.
Institutional Development
To support its strategic intents, a strong and sustainable JFCU organization is necessary. In line
with this, JFCU continues to strengthen its internal capacity and organizational systems to deliver the envisaged outcome.
