About
Over the few years, we have become one of the most trusted and effective charitable foundations as we are guided by our Father God, we have seen too much pain and heartache amongst vulnerable people.
Our history
Since its establishment in 2018, Murphy Charitable Foundation Uganda has made a significant impact on the lives of over 10,000 impoverished individuals in East-Northern Uganda. Through a diverse range of programs, including pen pal initiatives, women empowerment, youth empowerment, cancer awareness, child sponsorship, entrepreneurship, community outreaches, capacity building, mentoring, and community research on poverty levels in families, our organization has worked tirelessly to serve our communities and improve their well-being.
In addition to our existing programs, we also actively engage with local schools and hospitals. We recognize the importance of education and healthcare in creating a better future for the communities we serve. We visit schools to provide educational support, including supplies, resources, and mentorship opportunities to students. By doing so, we aim to enhance learning experiences and encourage academic achievement.
Our organization’s commitment to humanitarian work has brought about lasting change in the project areas across Uganda. We extend our support to disadvantaged individuals without discrimination based on race or religion, firmly believing that every person in need deserves a helping hand. By implementing these programs, we aim to uplift communities and create sustainable solutions to the challenges they face.
As the Murphy Charitable Foundation Uganda continues to grow and evolve, we remain dedicated to expanding our impact and finding new ways to serve those in need. By leveraging the power of collaboration, community engagement, and innovation, we strive to make a positive difference and contribute to the development and well-being of the people we serve.
Activities
The work we do at Murphy Charitable Foundation Uganda aims at providing a holistic approach to solving some of our society’s biggest challenges. We make sure that individuals and communities are empowered by creating opportunities for them. These below are our focused areas.
Pen pal project
With the “Pen Pal” program you have an opportunity to write encouraging letters to children from underprivileged backgrounds. Your letters can be on any topic such as education, family, health, culture, dangers of illiteracy and superstitious beliefs. It can also be informal and friendly such as wishing them well on their birthdays, exam days and Christmas.
Child sponsorship
We sponsor vulnerable children’s financial needs such as fundamental necessities, medical care and school tuition fees.
Women empowerment
We are part of developing community infrastructure, promoting sanitation programs and teaching financial management strategies and hand skill courses such as tailoring, hair dressing, baking and making bracelets.
Youth Empowerment
We actively engage in mentoring and equipping youth with essential skills such as financial literacy, budgeting, and various vocational abilities. Our focus is on empowering young individuals to take charge of their communities through active participation in community activities. We firmly believe that the youth are the catalysts for positive change within their own communities.
Library and movie project
We are in the process of constructing a library where children and youths can connect to access quality educational content, motivational movies, and computer resources.
Cancer Awareness.
We raise cancer awareness across Uganda, specifically targeting teenagers and adults. Our goal is to educate teenagers about the dangers of tobacco and ensure that the word "cancer" becomes unfamiliar to them.
Improving education through reliable solar energy
Empowering rural schools in eastern Uganda with solar energy, we extend study hours, integrate technology, promote environmental education, and empower students. Together with our partners, we create sustainable learning environments, making a meaningful impact on education and ensuring access to solar power and resources.
Community Health Clinics
We are dedicated to enhancing access to healthcare services and bolstering the overall health infrastructure within local communities. Through collaborative efforts with the community, our goal is to foster the development of superior health facilities and guarantee improved access to high-quality healthcare for all.
Water and environment
Water and the environment are of utmost importance to us. We are deeply committed to addressing the water crisis in needy communities, and our dedicated team works tirelessly to make a positive impact every single day.
Outreach program
As part of our outreach program, we proactively visit various schools to spend quality time with children. Additionally, we regularly visit different hospitals to offer support and care to sick children. We are also actively involved in community development programs, working towards making a positive impact in the communities we serve.
