Why We Exist

According to the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (2021), 41% of the population in Uganda live below the poverty line, with many earning little to no income. Additionally, 12.3% of children are orphans, making them particularly susceptible to various life risks.

Usira Charity Foundation was established to bridge this gap by providing support to vulnerable communities in Uganda.
