Ugandans Adopt is a government initiative in collaboration with organisations that advocate for family-based care, aiming to promote domestic adoption in Uganda.

Recognising the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, which emphasises the unique and privileged position of the child in African society, we at Ugandans Adopt firmly believe that the full and harmonious development of a child’s personality necessitates their upbringing in a family environment, surrounded by happiness, love, and understanding. It is within families that children receive the necessary love, sense of belonging, and identity required for their growth. Families provide children with the space to play, learn, and establish trusting relationships, enabling them to feel a genuine part of a community.

Aligned with the Ministry of Gender, Labour, and Social Development’s initiatives, Ugandans Adopt is dedicated to identifying prospective adoptive parents in Uganda who can offer safe and loving families to children unable to reunite with their biological families. Many of these children have been abandoned, and despite extensive efforts to locate their families, such endeavours have proved unsuccessful. The adoption process undergoes evaluation by an independent panel, ensuring a comprehensive and impartial assessment.
