Sozo Children was founded on May 13, 2010, out of an urgent need to care for neglected children in Uganda. When two missionaries discovered a group of children in dire need of care—they did the only thing they knew to do. In just ten days, and with the local Ugandan Government's help, a new home was started initially providing seventeen children a roof over their heads, clean clothes, and hope for the future.
Our mission at Sozo Children is to empower vulnerable children to become thriving leaders for Jesus Christ.
All children thriving. All communities transformed.
As a mission-based ministry, we serve God by serving others. By meeting the needs of children once trapped in generational poverty, we equip them mentally, physically, and spiritually to become strong leaders for Christ who will transform their communities for the next generation.
“Sozo” is a Greek word that means to save, keep safe, and rescue from harm. Sozo Children provides at-risk children with proper nutrition, healthcare, quality education, spiritual development, and life skills guided by a team of Ugandan caregivers to build strong leaders for Christ who will have a positive impact on the next generation of Ugandan society.
