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.
Total Funding Received to Date: $27,544

“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."
- Mark, Graduate of Tigers Club
