We Are Non Profit Organization
Fecane Child Foundation (FCF) is a community-based organization rooted in the heart of Wakiso District, Uganda. Established in 2020 during the global pandemic, we have grown into a registered CBO with a dedicated mission to transform the lives of vulnerable children, youth, and marginalized communities. We are driven by a passionate team of individuals committed to providing a safe space, education, life skills, and hope to those in need. At FCF, we believe in the power of community, compassion, and holistic development to create a brighter future.
Our Backstory
Fecane Child Foundation began as a small initiative by our founder, Mr. Badru Kalanzi Shafic, who had been inspired to go back to empower those he left there (streets) after having been restored and given opportunities in life. What started as a local youth project has expanded into a broad-reaching initiative, targeting children, youths from the slums of Wakiso and beyond. Since our official registration in 2023, we have been focusing our efforts on education, welfare, and rehabilitation to empower the most at-risk communities. Over the years, we have grown our impact through partnerships, expanding our programs to reach hundreds of children and young adults.
