Compassion In Action

"Disability does not define them. Love, courage and hope do."

At Lift a Child Uganda, we turn compassion into action. We walk into homes where disability often brings silence and stigma and instead, we bring hope, healing, and dignity. Through home-based rehabilitation, we help children with disabilities grow stronger. We fight for their rights, so their voices are heard. We counsel families, so no parent feels alone. We provide the basics nutrition, clothing, care so every child can thrive. Most of all, we give love, because every child deserves to be seen, celebrated, and lifted. Together, step by step, we are building a world where disability is not a limitation, but a story of courage and possibility.
