Mukono Child Support Initiative

Mukono child support initiative (MCSI) is a non- denominational charity organization, registered by the republic of Uganda under Ministry of Gender and Social Development with registration S.5914/9536 operating in Mukono District, Central Uganda.

MCSI is devoted to send the orphaned and vulnerable children to school in largely un aided rural areas in Mukono District. Uganda being a developing country, majority of her population is in rural areas as per (UNICEF). The need to support rural communities to send their children to school in rural areas is great since majority in these communities survive below the poverty line and many organizations do not work in villages due in accessibility. Mukono District experienced tremendous number of deaths due to AIDS epidemic and consequently many children are left as orphans, left in hands of the elderly who cannot help themselves.
