Welcome to Friendly Hearts Foundation Uganda, a beacon of hope founded in February 2010 by Najib Kitaka, better known as Jib K Fashions, a compassionate fashion designer with a heart for his community. Growing up in the slums of Katwe, Najib witnessed firsthand the struggles faced by vulnerable children, particularly orphans and those from widowed mothers. Determined to make a difference, he leveraged the success of his fashion brand and joined forces with like-minded partners to establish Friendly Hearts Foundation.
At Friendly Hearts Foundation Uganda, our mission is simple yet profound: to extend a caring hand to the most vulnerable members of our society. We believe that every child deserves love, care, and a chance to thrive, regardless of their circumstances. Through our comprehensive child care support programs, we provide a range of services to ensure the holistic well-being of each child under our care.
Our initiatives include:
- Education Support: Ensuring access to quality education for every child, we provide school fees, supplies, and educational resources to empower them with knowledge and skills for a brighter future.
- Healthcare Services: Prioritizing the health and well-being of our children, we offer medical care, immunizations, and nutrition support to ensure they grow up strong and healthy.
- Nutritional Support: Recognizing the importance of proper nutrition, we provide nutritious meals and food assistance to combat malnutrition and promote overall wellness.
