Support Our Mission

Our Story

Mentor Orphans Africa (MOA) was founded in 2015 by a group of passionate Ugandans who saw the urgent need to support orphaned and vulnerable children in their communities. What started as a small grassroots initiative has grown into a nationally recognized organization serving thousands of children across Uganda.

With Uganda's population estimated at 35.4 million and a growth rate of 3.2% per annum with over 70% youth, the country faces immense challenges in delivering basic social services, particularly to children. Primary school retention remains a challenge due to high dropout rates, and the transition rate from primary to secondary and tertiary levels remains critically low.

We established Mentor Orphans Africa to address these challenges head-on, working directly with communities to provide sustainable support and create lasting change. Our holistic approach addresses the root causes of poverty while providing immediate relief to those in greatest need.

Our Mission

To support orphaned and vulnerable children in Uganda access basic needs including better health services, education, and shelter. We foster a dignified and protected life for children who have fallen victim to poverty, solitude, and are at risk of HIV/AIDS.

Our Vision

A Uganda where every orphaned and vulnerable child lives a dignified life, with access to quality education, healthcare, and the opportunity to reach their full potential.
