Joy for Children

Children’s well-being is hinged on the application of their rights. Many of Uganda’s children suffer because their rights are violated everyday. Yet we know that the future of a nation is the children. 

Since 2005, Joy For Children Uganda (JFCU) 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.

JFCU head office is located in Kampala while field offices are located in Fort Portal and Lira City.

JFCU hosts and coordinates Girls Not Brides Uganda, a national Alliance of 106 NGOs working collectively in Uganda to end child marriage, ending teenage pregnancies and preserving the rights of girls and women.

Joy For Children -Uganda hosts and coordinates MenEngage Uganda ,a network of 60 CSOs working to engage men and boys in reducing gender inequalities, preventing gender based violence, reducing HIV, and promoting good health of women, girls, boys and men.

We are proud of our strong work ethic, our compassionate dedication to children & communities, and our “can-do” spirit.
