Combating Ugandan Poverty Since 2009

AFFCAD is a youth-focused nonprofit organisation that was founded in 2009 by four young people living in the slums of Bwaise in Kampala, Uganda. They wanted to transform living conditions in Kampala’s poorest slum areas by empowering children, youth and women through Economic Empowerment, Education and Health Programs.

Our Mission

We aim to provide quality education and skills to young people in vulnerable urban communities in Uganda.

Our Vision

We envision sustainable and dignified lives for young people in urban communities in Uganda.

Our Core Values

We promote service beyond self; teamwork; integrity and accountability; and creativity and innovation.

Our Programs

Economic Empowerment Program

The Economic Empowerment Program allows AFFCAD to increase sustainable employment opportunities for disadvantaged youth including PWDs and refugees living in the slums of Kampala

Education Program

Through the Education Program, AFFCAD provides quality formal education opportunities to Kampala’s slum children and youth.
