Child Care Circle e.V. is committed to helping children in Uganda who live in extreme poverty. Thanks to the support of numerous donors, we have already been able to provide many of them with access to education, food, and a safe home.
We are currently planning a new project to sustainably improve living conditions on site: building a barn for chickens and purchasing the necessary animals, equipment, and feed.

Why is this project so important?
1. Strengthening self-sufficiency: We currently care for around 180 children who need to be fed every day. A barn with chickens will help us become less dependent on expensive food prices and ensure a more stable supply in the long term.
2. Sustainable help for self-help: Raising animals provides regular yields, such as eggs, meat, or offspring. This way, we can not only feed the children but also sell any surplus to cover ongoing costs.
3. Additional income: The proceeds from animal husbandry go directly into key areas like school fees, medicine, or repairs at the children’s home. Your donation has multiple and long-term impacts.
4. Creating structure: The new barn will create tasks where young people can get involved and gain first experience in farming. This helps them develop their own perspectives for the future.
5. Promoting healthy nutrition: By raising our own chickens, we can cook more varied and protein-rich meals — essential for the children’s physical development.
How you can help:
For the construction of the coop as well as the purchase of the animals, basic equipment, and feed, we require a total of 13,500 euros. Every contribution – no matter how small or large – brings us one step closer to reaching this goal.
With your donation, you help sustainably improve the children’s quality of life and give them the chance of a secure future.
Let us make a difference together. Your support truly matters and creates real, lasting impact. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity.

Why are we doing this work? We believe that children have a need for security and acceptance, no matter where they live. When they know they are safe and loved, they are able to develop in a good and healthy way. And the fullness of ideas, interests, talents and strengths which is inside of children can emerge.
This is not possible if a child does not know where he is going to sleep tonight and what he will eat tomorrow. The loss of one or both parents is traumatic and shakens the life of a little person.
This is why we are supporting needy children in Uganda for years. It is unbelievably beautiful to experience and to contribute to the fact that the help they receive also gives them inner peace and allows them to simply be children again.
On August 29, 2025, a group of volunteers from Germany will travel to Uganda. During this mission, a barn for chickens and pigs will be built, and the first animals will be purchased. The goal is to improve the children’s long-term food supply and open up new opportunities through animal husbandry. In addition, smaller electrical works are planned on the site.
For the children, a colorful program full of games and fun is planned. They deeply appreciate the attention and care — it strengthens them in their development.
We want to give young people a foundation for good and healthy development. When their basic needs are secured and they don't have to worry about them, they will be empowered and enabled to take responsibility for themselves and others. We are currently supplying 116 children and young people in Uganda with food, taking care of their schooling and medical care. We give protection and care to those who have no home in our children's home.
In autumn 2019, construction began on our new children's home in the village of Kyewanise, Uganda. A home for over 100 children was to be created. Thanks to the support of numerous donors and helpers, the home for street children and orphans is now largely completed.
Our goal is to give our children a place where they can grow up safely and that they can call “home”. These are children who have experienced significant suffering and require special care and protection. In our children's home they can relax and experience a family community.
You can give a perspective in life by sponsoring a child. If your donation is not only intended to benefit one child, but to support our entire work, you can also donate regularly without earmarking. Would you like to provide us with a larger amount as an interest-free building loan? This is also a great help for the progress of the construction project. In addition, there are other ways to become active yourself: Are you handy talented? Join us for our next build!
