If you are interested in working with us, we would love to start a conversation.

Every child deserves dignity, care, and the chance to reach their full potential

As study coordinators under the Wasting Treatment Reform initiative, CFU Uganda helped bring a critical November 2025 training to life in Mbarara.

None of it happens without the people working to make it happen.

We integrate our work with maternal and child health programs, using evidence-based approaches to track progress over time.

Because a child's first 1,000 days are not something you can redo. We take that seriously.

[Child and Family Foundation UG @cfufoundationUG]

We provide nutrition education, conduct food demonstrations, supply therapeutic foods like RUTF, and group families by location into care groups for ongoing monitoring.

[Child and Family Foundation UG @cfufoundationUG]

Our nutrition clinic screens both children and adults for malnutrition.

When we identify a case, we do not just hand over supplements and send them home.

[Child and Family Foundation UG @cfufoundationUG]

Every child deserves a healthy start in life.

But hunger is still a daily struggle for many families.

[Child and Family Foundation UG @cfufoundationUG]

We also work to prevent mother-to-child transmission, support discordant couples, and provide pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis.

This is not a one-time service.

It is ongoing care, regular refills, and adherence support because treatment only works when people stay in it.

[Child and Family Foundation UG @cfufoundationUG]

We test, we counsel, we treat, and we follow up.

Patients who test positive are enrolled in our clinic for ARV initiation, viral load monitoring, hepatitis B screening, and TB co-infection checks.

[Child and Family Foundation UG @cfufoundationUG]

They receive community-based rehabilitation and are monitored for real functional improvement not just attendance.

Children who fall sick are referred back to CFU Medical Centre for direct care.

[Child and Family Foundation UG @cfufoundationUG]

We believe disability does not define what a child can become.

Our job is to make sure the systems around them say the same thing.

[Child and Family Foundation UG @cfufoundationUG]

Every Wednesday and Friday, our team conducts developmental assessments for children.

Children identified with cerebral palsy are connected to community care groups near their homes.

[Child and Family Foundation UG @cfufoundationUG]

We report data to the Ministry of Health every month.

Because a missed vaccine is a preventable risk.

And we are in the business of preventing what can be prevented.

CFU Medical Centre. Kampala and Kamuli.

[Child and Family Foundation UG @cfufoundationUG]

Three times a week, our medical centre opens its doors for immunisation services.

On top of that, our teams go out into the communities because not every parent can make it to us.

We follow recognised standards. We store vaccines properly.

Grace is one of 1,278 CFU SACCO members building financial stability not through luck, but through structure.

Our Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) bring together 15 to 20 members at a time. They meet weekly. They save consistently. They hold each other accountable.

[Child and Family Foundation UG @cfufoundationUG]

When someone needs a loan for school fees, a health emergency, or a business idea, the group already has the resources to respond.

We are not just building savings.

We are building the habit of financial security for 2,476 families by the end of 2026.

No girl should ever have to choose between her period and her education.

In Kamuli, many girls still miss school because they lack access to menstrual pads and proper information.

But together, we can change that story.

In March and April, we joined the Ministry of Health's nationwide mass screening for malnutrition, going door to door to check children using Mid Upper Arm Circumference and bilateral pitting oedema assessments.

[Child and Family Foundation UG @cfufoundationUG]

Our focus was Kawempe North constituency, where our team supported household screening, strengthened referral pathways to health centres, and guided families through follow-up care.

[Child and Family Foundation UG @cfufoundationUG]

Children identified with Severe Acute Malnutrition received Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food until full recovery, and we ran nutrition education sessions built around affordable, nutrient-dense foods that urban families can actually access.
