Child’s i Foundation is working with the Ugandan government to set up an alternative care system based around the needs of the individual child. This includes the setting up of a comprehensive procedure for adopting children within Uganda.

Amazing adoptive parents George and Desire Barugahare talk about their experiences in the hope that their story will encourage more Ugandan parents to come forward.

Child’s i Foundation has had a busy summer, getting the word out about domestic adoption in Uganda and trying to find new adoptive families for children who desperately need them.
Our media campaign launched at the beginning of July, and to learn more about the campaign and the response that we’ve received to it, read this blog by our Project Director Lucy Buck.
We were proud to see one of our adoptive families featured on WBS News’ coverage of World Humanitarian Day recently.
Christina adopted baby Tessa 3 months ago and as you will see in the WBS coverage her little girl has settled well in to her new family!

There are hundreds of children across Uganda currently living in institutional care. What is best for them and how do we safeguard their futures? Ben Ssebuufu recently visited a number of babies’ homes in Kampala, meeting staff and children in an attempt to understand more about the problem of baby abandonment in Uganda.

We went out on to the streets of Kampala to find out what people really think about adoption. As you will see in this video, we got mixed results!

As part of our domestic adoption media campaign, we produced 2 adverts that have been running on NTV during the summer of 2011.
We have had an amazing response from potential adoptive families to our adverts, so thought we should give them a permanent home on our website.
