Who we are

Bless a Child Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive care and support services to children aged from 0–18 battling cancer and related infections in Uganda and Kenya.
Founded in 2008, the foundation was established in response to the critical gap in access to medical care and psychosocial support for pediatric cancer patients. Since its inception, Bless a Child Foundation has made a lasting impact, supporting thousands of children and their families across Uganda and Kenya, ensuring they receive the treatment and access to care they need to thrive during their journey to recovery.

Bless a Child Foundation homes serve as a home away from home, offering comfort, support, and vital resources to families who travel long distances to access the medical care their child needs.

Through our various care activities Bless a Child Foundation ensures that all paediatric cancer patients referred access the proper diagnosis and cancer treatment required.
In addition Bless a Child Foundation conducts additional activities to ensure that the paediatric patients under our care continue to the extent possible to live normal lives including making certain that they receive educational services, games and entertainment while undergoing treatment.

Your generosity counts

The work of Bless a Child Foundation is made possible by the generosity of donors and partners from Uganda and around the world. Their support has enabled us to provide care and psychosocial support services to thousands of children with cancer and their caregivers.
From safe accommodation and nutritious meals to emotional support and a sense of dignity, every contribution helps us walk alongside families through one of the hardest journeys of their lives. We are deeply grateful for your support and partnership in giving hope to children who need it most.
