Fecane Child Foundation began as a small initiative led by our founder, Mr. Badru Kalanzi Shafic, whose personal journey of resilience and transformation inspired him to give back to the very streets he once called home. Having been restored and given opportunities in life, he felt a deep calling to empower other vulnerable children and youth facing similar hardships.
What started as a grassroots youth project has since evolved into a broad-reaching initiative, providing holistic support to children and young people from the slums of Wakiso and beyond. With a strong focus on education, welfare, and rehabilitation, our mission is to create sustainable change by equipping at-risk communities with the tools they need to break the cycle of poverty and hardship.
Since our official registration in 2023, we have worked tirelessly to expand our programs and deepen our impact. Through strategic partnerships with local and international organizations, we have been able to reach and transform the lives of hundreds of children and young adults. Our initiatives now include structured football programs, educational scholarships, mentorship and career guidance, and community-based rehabilitation efforts.
With every step forward, we remain committed to our vision of uplifting vulnerable children, helping them reclaim their futures, and fostering a world where every child—regardless of their background—has access to opportunity, hope, and a chance to thrive.
