CHILD'S I FOUNDATION 

Child's i Foundation is a social work organisation. Our aim is to reduce the number of children and young people living in, and entering, institutional care in Uganda. We develop programmes in line with the Ugandan Children's Act to demonstrate best practice and training in prevention, emergency care tracing, resettlement, family support and domestic adoption.
