"Boys are suffering just as much as girls. Every day, Shule witnesses the effects that physical, mental, and sexual abuse has on boys. We can no longer pretend that our boys are ok. Something must be done to ensure boys grow up to become gentlemen. It's the best gift we can give the girl child."

Become a BoyChild Ambassador

Shule is calling on all boy moms to help transform the lives of street-connected boys in Uganda.

For the past 25 years, support efforts have focused on girls, often leaving boys overlooked. Our mission is to build a community of mothers who understand boys' challenges and are committed to making a difference. As superheroes, you will champion the cause of disadvantaged boys living on the streets in Uganda.

The Shule Foundation, a 501C3 non-profit organization established in 2014, provides essential resources to street-connected boys. We help them break free from street life, reconnect with their families, and support their educational journey, whether formal or vocational. Our ultimate goal is to nurture socially conscious and financially independent gentlemen.

In Kampala's slums, around 5,000 boys live full-time on the streets, driven there by poverty, abuse, and lack of education. Join us in our mission to change their lives for the better.

Boys in Uganda are denied:

  • adequate food
  • access to education
  • proper medical care
  • clothes, underwear, and shoes
  • ability to shower, wash their clothes, and cut their hair
  • a safe place to sleep
  • protection from the police

Globally:

  • 1 in 5 boys are victims of sexual assault, *
  • 4 times more boys commit suicide the girls,
  • 50% of out-of-school children across the globe are boys,
  • 98% of children living full-time on the streets are boys,
  • 7 out of 10 boys are recruited to become child soldiers,
  • 6.7% of male youth are unemployed compared to 6.3% of female youth

Get Your Son Involved

As a mother, you strive to raise a compassionate and socially conscious young man. By introducing your son to the challenges faced by boys living on the streets, you can help him understand the struggles other boys face and inspire him to make a positive impact.

As a BoyChild Ambassador, we encourage you to work with your son to improve the lives of homeless boys in Uganda. This experience will not only broaden your son's perspective but also allow him to make a meaningful difference in a peer's life. At the same time, you will support other mothers who are striving to provide for their sons.
