We want to enable Uganda to ful commit as a rtaln lo curb Ihe spre&J of orphanages. repurposing the orphanages that exisl and reimaginiNJ the way rt cares for vulnerable children and young pet)p. OUR WORK Orphanages are separating familie5. frncturing cL¥nmunities, ullimatety hamiing children. They stand in the way of a Ihriwng SLKty yel Ihey are still being set-up and run, in spite of the huge cost to chikyien's wellbeing and Uganda as a whole.

WHERE WE OPERATE Child's i Foundation works in Uganda. 5((ualed in East Africa. Our approach 15 to largel specific regions xross Uganda where we can dK)nstrate our model wilh the intention of scaling r( throijgh partnerships across the ¢ounlry to achieve our visK)n. In partnership wrth the govemment, we curnty woth in Mpigi and Tororo al district level. In add((ion lo this, we are working in the Makindye dmsion of Kampala. the capital of Uganda. By including both rural and urban seth"ngs, we are prowding a hc4istic blueprint to make sure that eventually. across all districts, no child ever has lo spend one night in an orphana3e. We are also working in Wakiso district to build the local govemmenl's capacity to create qualrty attemative5 to o¥phanages and in Ma5aka. and Jinia through local partners.

We will shl¥CaSe what has been achbeved in Uganda to demonstrate what is possib. WHY IS THIS WORK NEEDED7 Most ¢hiklren who live in orphanages have at least one liwng parenl, bLrt povety. disability and other pressures force families to relinquish Iheir chikjren lo damaging ins1rtLrtns. By supporting families to slay together, reunitsng families who have been separated by the orphanage system and building new famil*s through fostering and adoption we are showing that there is a better way to care for children. Over 80 years of research frc¥n across the workl has demonstrated significant ham) of instrtutionalisation on children. These children are deprived of loving parental care and may consequenlty suffer lrfe4ong physical and psychobgical hami. Chiklren who grow up in instrtutions experience attachment dwrders, cconrtwe and devekipmenlal delays, and a lack of social and lrfe skills Ing to murt]'ple disajvanlages during adulthood. Long-tem effects of Iwing in inslitutions can also include disability. increased Rtes of mental heatth problems. involvement in uiminal behawour, and suicide. Chibs's i Foundation 4

CovK119 has generated nSKJerab1e challenge5. Many in5titution5 were suddenly left wrthout much support, and the govemment had lo slep in lo prowde food.
