Our Mission: To improve the livelihood of children living on the streets of Kisenyi - the largest slum in Kampala, Uganda - by empowering, educating, counseling, and providing shelter and medical care to the children currently and formerly homeless in Kisenyi through our outreach and sponsorship program
Our Vision: A future where no child is left living on the streets and where access to education, health care, and basic needs are available to all children, regardless of societal status
Our boys.
Who Are We?
The team of 'Streets to Success foundation' is a group of individuals all around the world looking to care for, love and empower these boys. All having varying education and past experiences set us up to have a unique, educated and loving outlook towards these boys. All decisions will be discussed as a group, and we will come to a clear and collective conclusion.
“Our children are our future and one of our most basic responsibilities is to care for them in the best and most compassionate manner possible.”
-Nelson Mandela at opening of Walter Sisulu Paediatric Cardiac Centre for Africa, JohannesburG. November 7th 2003
Sponsorships
We are always looking for new sponsors for our boys or sponsors for events for the boys both in Kisenyi and in the house. By choosing to sponsor one of these boys, you will provide him with an education and a positive future that he is so deserving of. You will be paying for his school, food, clothes and other necessities to succeed to become a educated independent man. By choosing to sponsor an event you are providing these kids with an opportunity to experience different activities and a chance for a meal(s). This is important as it gives the boys not only a chance to be incorporated into the community but also helps promote a healthy life styles of being sober and receiving exercise.

Our Goal
Kisenyi is the largest slum in Uganda’s capital city, Kampala. Kampala is currently ‘home’ to upwards of 10,000 children experiencing homelessness. Even with them making up such a large population, their voices are insignificant and they are shunned from their communities. Constantly being exploited and made to do cheap labor work, they end up in hopeless situations. We want to educate the community as well as care for these boys, and help find them solutions to further their education to live the lives they deserve.
15,000
Estimated number of children experiencing homelessness in Uganda*
10,000
Estimated number of children experiencing homelessness in Kampala*
16
Estimated number of kids coming to the streets of Kampala a day*
* these are all estimated numbers, none of which have been confirmed due to the constant varying number of children experiencing homelessness in uganda.
