Our Origin Story

Our founder, Tendo Praise Nabukenya, experienced a difficult season in primary school that left her discouraged and without hope. Years later, through a journey of healing, she felt compelled to give children the encouragement, support, and hope she once needed.

That desire grew into a vision to be a beacon of hope for children in vulnerable communities, reminding them that their lives matter and that they are loved by God. From that vision, Etendo Charity was born.

Today, we walk alongside children and school communities in rural Uganda through Christ-centered programs that provide practical support, mentorship, encouragement, and opportunities for joy.

At the heart of our story is this belief: Every child deserves a voice, an education, and a chance to thrive.
