MAD Current Campaigns

Business Empowerment

This initiative helps families of single mothers. These women are given financial support and advice to set up their own businesses to enable them to look after their children and become self-sufficient throughout the pandemic and beyond.

The Sewing Project

This project supports students to further their sewing skills and learn good business practice so that they can go on to support themselves, by selling what they make, and share their knowledge with others in the future.

COVID-19 Response

MAD supported CRANE with emergency funding for several initiatives: Quarantining Street Children Project,  Emergency Food Parcels and providing Business Empowerment for single mothers throughout the pandemic.

Juvenile Safe House

MAD contributed to the funding of a Juvenile Safe House, creating a safe haven for street children picked up by the police, to avoid holding them in adult custody cells. Charity Support is the only means vulnerable children will be protected in Kampala.

Schools & Education

We support the "Girls Education Challenge" through 20 creative learning centres around Kampala, giving over 3,500 girls the opportunity to re-enter mainstream primary schools.

Crisis Pregnancy Service

Crisis pregnancy centres provide a home for teenage girls in their last few months of pregnancy.  This is a place where they are safe and not condemned by communities as well as providing a supportive environment to learn life skills

HIV / AIDS Projects

We support CRANE, who have many projects helping to support orphaned and abandoned children living with HIV / Aids as well as local community education  programs

Babies Homes

We support homes that take on abandoned babies and toddlers.  These homes try to locate extended families or seek to find foster or adoptive parents for each child

Children With Special Needs

This project supports children with physical and mental special needs as well as supporting their families. There are many parent support groups, drop-in centres, day care and skill training workshops

The Farm

MAD started a farm 5 years ago at Kalule, a few miles outside of Kampala. We created a sustainable program that would provide profits that can be ploughed back into local projects
