Our Goal: Quality of Life for Children in Uganda
Stream of Life is a private aid organization, which is dedicated to the support of underprivileged, disabled and orphaned children in Uganda.
Our Concerns are:
- A home, food and school for children
- Establishment of schools with good education
- Donations that arrive are used 1:1 among the needy
- Assumption of training costs
- Building a livelihood from the ground up
- Help for self-help, enabling career plans
Create living space
We support orphanages to provide children in Kampala and on the Ssese Islands with food, accommodation and a home.
Build schools
We finance and support the organization and construction of schools on site, to build a foundation for a better future with sustainable education.
Allow training
With a sponsorship you provide the children with the possibility to go to school and therefore with the chance for a self-determined future through education.
Environment
While working on our projects, sustainable and eco-friendly solutions are always on our list of priorities. No matter whether we talk about a waterpurification system, recycling projects or innovative sanitary facilities.
Empowerment
We want to empower women and girls economically and socially. To improve society and public well-being in the long run.
Support Local Businesses
We help children and select entrepreneurs to start small businesses such as start ups and learn sustainable employment skills.
“We wish that the voices of these children will be heard by all, as clearly as we have heard them. Let us not talk, let us act!”

Current Projects
Our vision is to give hope to the Country and the people, that live locally, and to invest sustainably in the environment, education and training our overall principle is help for self-help.
Afrinena Orphanage – Afrinena Gospel Choir
Frank Mwesigwa is a music teacher and director of the Afrinena Children’s Voices Gospel Choir. He teaches children in the slum to sing and dance. In addition, Frank is a dedicated founder of the Afrinena orphanage, where over 50 children have now found a home.
With our help, food, schooling and medical care are ensured and the living situation is constantly improving.
Newday Academy – kindergarten and school center
Our project partner Joshua Magezi implemented the construction of the Newday kindergarten with his own resources. Together with him, we would now like to build a school center for the sustainable education of needy children.
Joshua already has a lot of experience in setting up and running schools. Stream of Life supports him entrepreneurially, as well as with donations.
Rafiki – Defining Destiny
The project Rafiki focuses on the empowerment and support of women. Through individual self-help projects, mainly in the Mpigi region, women and their families are to benefit from targeted help.
First measures included investments in various sales stands that are now run by the families and a workshop on the subject of soap production. Further workshops on health and hygiene are planned.
Bubembe Island Kids
Together with our cooperation partner Bbanga Project we want to create better living conditions on Bubembe Island, an island in Lake Victoria. The focus is on sustainability, education and long-term help for self-help.
In a first step, a school garden was created and interim dormitories for boarders were set up. In the future, the infrastructure is to be further renovated and expanded, with the vision of an eco-village in mind.
Ssese Islands Food Gardens
The effects of climate change and dependence on imports from the remote mainland are having a massive impact on the inhabitants of the Ssese Islands. In cooperation with Bbanga Project, we want to secure the livelihoods of the population and make them fit for the future through local, organic agriculture.
Together with local pupils, teachers and parents, we are building school and community gardens and holding workshops and training sessions. In this way, we want to enable long-term food security and self-sufficiency for the local people.
Bakyala Tukole
The Bakyala Tukole project specifically promotes the economic independence of women on the Ssese Islands. By producing handicrafts such as jewelry and crochet work, they gain a stable source of income.
Initial steps include training in product development and support in setting up marketing structures. In the future, the project is to be expanded further in order to offer more women in the region new prospects and strengthen the local economy.
“I have always wanted to do more than just provide financial help. Stream of Life supports the local people individually on their way into their future, and I am very happy to be part of it!”
