Empowering children to become the future leaders of their regions

A child shouldn't have to be lucky to go to school. Nofam Uganda connects grassroots organizations, sponsors and funders on one transparent platform — so more children are helped, and helped broader.

Our model

One model, three levels — ownership in Uganda

Shared technology from the Nofam Foundation, a locally led organization in Kampala, and grassroots partners who know their children by name. Energy that starts in Uganda impacts children worldwide.

How do we know the money actually helps the child?

A fair question — and the reason the Nofam platform exists. Every shilling is traceable from sponsor to child:

1
Linked to a child, not a pot
Every child has a profile on the Nofam platform. Support is tied to that child — never to a general fund.
2
Released against real costs
Funds go to Nofam Uganda's programme account and are released to partners against agreed budgets per child.
3
Verified on the ground
Our monitoring team checks delivery — school attendance, meals, health visits — during regular partner visits.
4
Reported back to you
Photos, school reports and updates flow back to the sponsor through the platform. Independent audits and regular reporting cover the rest.

It is not about who helps the child, or under which name. It is about the child being helped.
