We are a champion for the welfare of children
The WEHAT Foundation is a non-profit organization advocating for the welfare of children from low-income families in eastern and central Uganda. Our foundation is providing opportunities for education, skill development, access to healthcare, and talent development.
We started the WEHAT foundation in 2020, amidst the coronavirus pandemic, to improve the welfare of families in Kanaabi village in eastern Uganda by providing basic household commodities, but it is quickly expanding its activities and coverage. Today, the WEHAT Foundation serves several communities in up to 5 districts in eastern and central Uganda.

Our areas of focus
Our foundation is built on five core pillars: welfare, education, healthcare, advocacy, and talent development. The WEHAT Foundation’s projects are tailored towards providing basic needs to families in need, education to children, better healthcare, and developing talent.
Welfare
So that every child has the basic needs they need to grow up healthy and happy
Education
So that every child has access to the knowledge they need to grow into self reliant and impactful adults
Healthcare
Because no child should perish from preventable diseases or lack of access to medical care
Advocacy
All children should be respected and treated with dignity to nurture growth and good health
Talent development
Because talent has the potiential to transform the lives of individuals and communities in Uganda
Save children from adversity caused by poverty and underdevelopment.
Many communities in central and eastern Uganda have families living on little or no significant income, poor shelter, a scarcity of nutritious meals, no access to proper healthcare, etc. In such communities, children are at risk of abuse, dropping out of school, growing up without the skills necessary for sustaining adulthood, and more.
At the WEHAT Foundation, we engage with these communities to identify their needs and challenges, design projects to help their development, and educate them on how they can benefit from these projects.
Our unique approach to advocating for child welfare
Through our work in child welfare, healthcare, education, advocacy, and sports, the WEHAT Foundation is addressing issues hindering the development of underserved communities. With a focus on children, especially girls, we are tackling issues like school dropouts, the need for shelter and food insecurity, idleness due to a lack of technical skills, and unemployment.
Our projects
Our foundation has partnered with institutions like Movit Uganda, Afri-fruits, Alton Basketball, and the Uganda NGO Forum. These partnerships have placed us in a strategic position to provide the intervention needed to help children from families facing adversity as a result of low income, poverty, and underdevelopment in many communities in eastern and central Uganda.
Girls in action
Girls In Action, a program targeted at empowering girls through training in urban farming, is being conducted in partnership with Afri-Fruits to enable the girls in underserved communities to grow their own food, breed their own domestic animals, and sell some of the proceeds to earn a living

Accommodation for girls in Gunga, Busabala
The WEHAT Foundation secured accommodation for young girls in Gunga, Busabala. The establishment was home to 20 girls, 6 orphans, and 14 of whom parents couldn’t take care, by the end of 2023. We hope to get a bigger home with space for learning and recreation and grow the number to 50 by the end of 2024.

Since its establishments, the WEHAT Foundation has been supporting families and children from several communities through our community outreach programme. We hold several outreaches every year to support welfare, healthcare, talent, sanitation, education, and more.
