About us

ABOUT US

Uganda Gifted Child Foundation was founded by Amanya Macklean in 2019 with it’s head offices located in Rushaga-Bwindi and a branch office in Kihumuro hill Kabale Municipality where our primary school and a home for orphans and abandoned children is being constructed. Macklean knows what it means to lose your family and growing up under absolute poverty, spending each day searching for something to eat, and a place where to lay your head.

She has since taken up these children and is caring for them, providing food, clothing, shelter, medical care and education with support through donations. She also shares with the needy marginalized Batwa/pygmies children in areas around Bwindi impenetrable forest, including helping them acquire education.

With the increased numbers of Ugandan orphans and vulnerable children sleeping on an empty stomach, poor children whose parents can’t afford school fees, or even the very basic needs of life, your support is much needed now, every donation no matter how small it is, makes an impact. Thank you so much!
