Provide Humanitarian Care
You can help by providing basic necessities to a vulnerable child or orphan in a rural village community. Your support will ensure that the child is fed, clothed, and warm at night. All care items are purchased locally from Ugandan markets and delivered to each child by a TrueToAfrica team member or social worker. We invite you to learn more about providing humanitarian care and consider how you can help.
When you make a donation from the choices below, your items will be purchased and then delivered to the child in our program who is most in need. TrueToAfrica never ships items to Uganda in an effort to cooperate with local entrepreneurs and support the local economy.
Make a Difference
Choose Items to Donate
If you are a TrueToAfrica sponsor, you can have your donated items given to your sponsored child by entering their name in the “Order Notes” box at checkout. Otherwise, donations will be given to the child in our program who is most in need.
