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.
Empowerment Projects
Our projects “Bakyala Tukole”, “Rafiki” and “Tuyambagane” empower women through economic independence. Whether handicrafts, microcredits or craft training – they all offer women the chance to build their own livelihoods. Together, they create prospects for themselves and their families.
The women not only learn new skills, but also gain self-confidence and support in the community. By selling their products, they secure their own income and actively shape their future – for a self-determined and sustainable life.
Ssese 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.
“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!”
