Uganda

Our foundation has been providing active help in Uganda for 9 years. We started with six orphans in 2014 and now run a residential complex with 36 children and young people. We also opened a school for over 150 children in 2023.

There is a community center run by another Swiss foundation right next to the school we opened. Various development programs are offered here for the local population. There are also various activities for our kids during the school vacations, such as tailoring and hairdressing courses.

  I am very impressed by this warm-hearted foundation. It does great work in Uganda, where it opened a school for over 150 children last year. The LfvK Foundation is a 100% foundation, which means that every cent donated goes to the projects and their needy orphans. The foundation does a great job!

  The Zug-based Light for Forgotten Children Foundation is supported by people who put their heart and soul into helping children around the world. Their dedication over a period of more than 20 years is admirable and shows how deeply committed they are to this important task.

  Excellent foundation! I have visited the children's home project in Uganda several times. It is impressive how it has developed in such a short time.  Great work by the local staff and the foundation board. Absolutely worthy of support.
