Walakira
Foundation
Walakira Foundation is a charity organization that seeks to make a positive impact on the disadvantaged mothers and their children in Mukono district and beyond.
The founder always had a passion to support mothers and their children since childhood. An orphan herself, she in 2020, with the support of friends, decided to put her wishes into action. The long awaited dream came to fruition in April 2021 when the team reached out to about 13 mothers and their children who were facing hardship after the Covid scourge, offering the comfort, love and hope that these mothers longed for.
To date, the team caters for a family of over fifteen mothers and 29 children, sharing resources, providing skills and counselling, and empowering them to build self-sustenance and self-efficacy to live a better quality life.
A brain child of one orphaned at 6, the values and goals of the organisation place hope, recovery and empowerment as a key pillar in a drive to improve the welfare of mothers who have been through traumatic experiences while supporting them to bring up their with exemplary civic, moral and economic values.
