Assisting Uganda Children

The Stephen Shames Foundation locates forgotten children with innate talents and molds them into leaders.

We do this by partnering with Concern for the Future, an indigenous Ugandan NGO (non-profit) — raising money, providing financial oversight, and assisting with staff development.

Concern for the Future finds bright, motivated AIDS orphans, child soldiers, and other vulnerable children in Uganda who want to go to college but can't because of poverty, AIDS, and war.

Concern for the Future pays their school fees and prepares them for university.

Concern for the Future runs all aspects of the program in Uganda. The CFTF board and staff, all native Ugandans, select and nurture of our young scholars.

Concern for the Future sends them to the best schools and provides them with everything they need to succeed including books, school supplies, medical care, food, clothes, and emotional support. In addition, we teach our scholars 21st-century skills such as web design and video production.

However, our most significant gift is spiritual.CFTF's nine volunteer "moms" and “dads” provide our traumatized scholars with a warm and encouraging family, while imbuing them with a strong work ethic and a desire to serve.
