KOFUP is a charitable trust which was founded to relieve poverty, sickness and distress among orphans and vulnerable children living in Kenya and Uganda. Without parents or adult guardians, orphaned children face a daily struggle with hunger, insecurity and despair. We support community-based projects that provide for the children's basic needs, education and psycho-social development.

KOFUP was begun in the year 2000 as a response to the plight of the many children in Sub-Saharan Africa who live in extreme poverty or have been orphaned by diseases such as HIV/Aids. In general, our aim is to support as many such children as possible with food, clothing, medicine and education within their own communities. KOFUP currently supports 15 projects in all, two in Uganda and 13 in Kenya.

KOFUP has made, and is making, a huge difference to the lives of thousands of children. However, the actual number of children in need is many times the number we are currently able to reach.

The more money we raise, the more we shall be able to commit ourselves to maintaining our current projects and expanding into new areas, giving orphans and their communities the security that will help them to help themselves

We would like to thank everyone who contributes. Without doubt you have helped, and are helping, to change lives and give hope to some of the poorest children in the world.
