Education Sponsorship

According to the National Population and Housing Census Report (2024), Uganda has three (3) million orphans, representing 13% of the country’s total child population under 18. This means that in a typical group of 10 children, at least one (and often a second child) has lost one or both parents.

Many of these children lose their parents to HIV, accidents, or conflict, leaving them traumatized and impoverished. In marginalized communities, access to quality education remains a privilege rather than a right. Families often struggle to afford basic school fees, leading to children being frequently sent home or 6.2 million are forced into child labour.

Twahirah Islamic Charity Organisation (TICO) addresses these challenges by sponsoring orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) from the primary level through to their first university degree. Our methodology focuses on the provision of school fees, the supply of scholastic materials, medical care, consistent school visits for academic assessments and social welfare support.

To ensure a stable home environment conducive to learning, we also conduct family visits and provide food packages, clothing, and bedding whenever resources are available.

Sponsor an orphan/vulnerable child at UGX 138,584.29 (USD 40) every month to transition from a life of uncertainty to becoming an enthusiastic, socially active student with a clear path toward a brighter future.
