What Children of Uganda does
Mission
The mission of Children of Uganda is to confront poverty and social injustice in uganda through the education and empowerment of its most vulnerable children. To realize a future for uganda where all hiv/aids orphans and other vulnerable children have access to quality education.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Cou works in partnership with the highest quality boarding schools in uganda to educate, feed, and care for students at the primary and secondary level. Moreover, through the generosity of their sponsors, students are supported in vocational school, teacher training college, university, and other tertiary institutions of learning. We are proud to say that graduates of our program are now working in the fields of engineering, medicine, the hospitality industry, environmental protection, as well as trades such as mechanics and carpentry.
$220,803 spentof which $220,803 as grants57% of program spendingTo improve access to basic health care services, counseling and psychosocial support programs. In partnership with alive medical services (ams), general medical check- ups were performed for students from the kampala/mukono operational areas. The impact on the children was that they remain strong and healthy and thus able to concentrate on their studies and perform at their best. We also provided life-saving mosquito nets, dignity kits for the students and access to care for girls in our program who had unwanted pregnancies. During the covid period - uganda saw a 30% increase in teenage pregnancy.
$10,000 spentof which $10,000 as grants3% of program spendingTo develop consistent advocacy and empowerment programs that raise commitment to the welfare of vulnerable children. When covid 19 shut down the country in march 2020 - we had income generating projects already in motion for both individuals and groups. This enabled our guardians who participated to continue to earn a living in most cases and perfect their skills through training. Our visibility increased as we were able to empower families during a time when many ugandan ngo's were pausing services or closing down all together. Our team worked within travel and curfew restrictions to ensure the family empowerment program continued to grow and impact the lives of our most vulnerable children.
$10,000 spentof which $10,000 as grants3% of program spendingOur empowerment program fastrack ensures that sponsored students and their guardians rise together - becoming socially and economically self- sufficient, as well as contributing to positive and lasting community development. We believe that the chains of poverty and cycle of dependency can and will be broken by creating partnership opportunities that result in multi-generational progress. Fastrack partnerships provide holistic care and investments for an entire family unit including income generating activity (iga) training and inputs, livelihood support, counseling and medical care as needed. Iga projects we've invested in include tailoring, crop farming, coffee trade, charcoal stall, piggeries, poultry keeping, vegetable stand, beauty salon, retail shop, mat weaving and more. The ultimate goal is to see families able to provide for themselves long-term and well beyond cou's support.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $112k to $164k (+46%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of CHILDREN OF UGANDA’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 7 funders to 5 funders, grant income fell $74k → $62k.
8 of 21 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 55% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CHILDREN OF UGANDA’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
CHILDREN OF UGANDA has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
70% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CHILDREN OF UGANDA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 37% · 2018 38% · 2019 58% · 2020 73% · 2021 53% · 2022 40% · 2023 35% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
33% of CHILDREN OF UGANDA's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
55% of CHILDREN OF UGANDA's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $242k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside West Virginia, across 7 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $289k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
