Slum Outreach Programs

Slum Outreach Programs

Don't miss out on our impactful slum outreaches! Once a month, the Shule Foundation organizes large-scale events outside of Kampala to support street-connected children. We collaborate with local and government organizations to provide essential services such as showering facilities, haircuts, and medical care, including wound care, HIV and STD testing, and counseling.

During these events, more than 400 street-connected boys enjoy two nutritious meals while engaging in outdoor activities, friendly competitions, dancing, singing, and simply being kids for the day. As a volunteer, you have various opportunities to participate in and contribute to these life-changing events.
