Children are among the most vulnerable members of our society, and they deserve to grow up in environments where they are loved, protected, and valued. Bootim Foundation’s Child Protection Program is committed to creating safe spaces for children, defending their rights, and empowering communities to prevent abuse and neglect. Together, we can protect every child’s right to a safe and secure future.
Many children in Uganda face risks from exploitation, abuse, and neglect, depriving them of a safe childhood and limiting their futures. Protection from harm is not just a need; it’s a fundamental right. Our Child Protection Program works tirelessly to address these risks, promoting children’s rights, preventing abuse, and ensuring that every child can grow up with dignity, free from fear. We believe that all children should be able to trust their surroundings and feel secure in their communities.
Our program goes beyond addressing immediate safety concerns, focusing on long-term solutions that empower children and their communities.
Training communities and caregivers on child rights and the importance of protective practices to foster safer environments for children.
Providing resources and safe spaces for children who are at risk of or have experienced abuse, ensuring they have access to care and support.
Working with local and national authorities to strengthen child protection laws and ensure they are enforced, making a lasting impact on child welfare policies.
Educating children about their rights and how to seek help if they feel unsafe, giving them tools to protect themselves.
Through our work in child protection, Bootim Foundation has positively impacted the lives of many children and their families. Here’s what we’ve accomplished so far:
