There is an orphan crisis in Uganda. Currently the country is home to nearly one million children under the age of 15 who have lost one or both parents to HIV/AIDS. Children of Uganda was established in 1995 to care for orphans and other disadvantaged children in Uganda with the goal of helping them become healthy and productive members of society.

The organization supports two orphanages in Uganda, as well as children living with HIV-positive widowed mothers, and has over 700 children under its care. Children of Uganda also sponsors the education of Ugandan children abroad with its U.S. Scholarship Program and produces an award-winning dance troupe featuring children enrolled in its programs who tour internationally to raise funds and increase awareness of AIDS and its impact on children.
