Mikwano Children's Trust - Uganda (Mikwano) is a small non-profit making organisation dedicated to providing financial and advisory support promptly, efficiently and directly to the poor, needy and destitute children of Uganda. Mikwano's mission is to help these children live happy, healthy and fulfilling lives, free from poverty, cruelty, exploitation, disease and hardship.

Mikwano was founded in 2006 by two British volunteers; James Armson and Rachel Turner, both of whom worked with children's charities in Uganda. Working with some of the poorest families, they witnessed first hand the enormous and wonderful benefits international aid was capable of achieving on a small, local scale. If you want to get a taste of Mikwano's work, take a look at a blog written by Jenny - one of our trustees - during her most recent trip to Uganda.

The Trust is a non-profit making organisation, relying entirely on the kind and generous donations of supporters, patrons and friends. Mikwano Children’s Trust – Uganda is a fully registered UK charity; Charity registration No. 1117678.

Thank you for your interest in Mikwano and for any support you can offer, with your help we can continue to make a real difference to the lives of the children of Uganda.
