PROTECT. EMPOWER. LOVE. REPEAT.
When scrolling through this website, you will see the faces of exceptionally vulnerable children. That’s Jesus. He said so. “‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or naked and give you clothing?’ And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these... you were doing it to me!’”
FWC STRIVES TO...
PROTECT vulnerable children from extreme poverty and child trafficking.
EMPOWER them toward self-sufficient, meaningful futures.
All while introducing them to the LOVE of Jesus Christ.
REPEAT the process with as many vulnerable children as possible.
Flagship Ministry:
Kipindi Mpito
- The Problem: 6.87 million Ugandan children live in extreme poverty—the same as all the children in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky combined. Extreme poverty means severe deprivation of basic needs like food, water, and education, creating a cycle that is nearly impossible to escape without help. Desperation leads to devastating choices, like child trafficking and early marriage—especially for young girls.
- The Solution: Kipindi Mpito (Swahili for “Transition Period”) is FCW’s flagship ministry, and our answer for a successful transition into adulthood. In this transition-to-success program, young women learn critical life skills that allow them to become confident, independent, self-sufficient adults.
- The Seven Kipindi Pillars: At Kipindi, young adults learn about spiritual health/discipleship, mental/emotional health, self-sufficiency, relational health, 12 key life-skills, leadership development, and discover paths to meaningful employment.
Where We Serve
Forgotten Children Worldwide partners with indigenous ministries across multiple countries, as well as operating our flagship ministry in Uganda, where we employ local staff. We prioritize listening to our partners and tailoring projects to meet their specific needs. Our child sponsorship program extends to all partner countries, ensuring holistic care for vulnerable children. As they reach young adulthood, sponsored children have the opportunity to receive a Transition to Success (T2S) scholarship, empowering them to attend university, enroll in trade school, or receive tools to launch a business—helping them build self-sufficient, meaningful futures.

Daphine | Uganda
Daphine lost her mom at a young age and was raised by her dad and stepmom. The world of extreme poverty is all that Daphine and her 11 siblings knew. Thankfully, she became an FCW sponsored child in 2011 and was eventually accepted into the Kipindi Mpito program. She grew spiritually, got to know more about Jesus, learned about fashion, designs, and baking. Daphine is currently experiencing a life full of meaning and self-sufficiency as she runs her own tailoring shop with fellow Kipindi graduate, Fatuma!
