PCCP exists to enhance the lives of children, youth and women in rural Uganda through access to education, economic empowerment and environmental conservation. We provide a hand up through self help projects to enable dignified lives.
Eastern Uganda is desperate for help; ravaged by poverty, AIDs, hopelessness, and utmost lack of basic social programs.
PCCP provides help to the most desperate children and families in the poorest area in Eastern Uganda. We are the critical link between these needy children and hope.

- PCCP believes that easing human suffering is an end in itself
- PCCP believes in providing opportunities for local community members, focusing on female headed households, to contribute to our organization. Read more about how community based PCCP is
- PCCP believes in giving back to the local community
- PCCP believes each student is a long term investment; we must make decisions that will be sustainable
Our Strategy – Building people, breaking cycles
PCCP’s mission to educate and care for orphan and vulnerable children will be valid far into the future. The transition to sustainability will be decades long, but begins with today’s children.
We are a growing Christian organization with a heart to see our children empowered and transformed. We believe that all people, especially the underprivileged, have a right to a better quality of life. Through our projects we aim to provide the best building blocks for a sustainable future for our needy children and our local community.
Building emotionally, physically and spiritually healthy children – PCCP believes in the importance of helping each individual child grow in emotional, physical and spiritual health.
Community Building – PCCP believes our children are a valuable part of the world community and that removing their barriers will make our world a better place. PCCP recognizes that most of the children stay within the local community and the community supports our children both during and after their time with us.
Easing Human Suffering – Easing human suffering is an end in itself. It is also a corrective action that removes a long lasting burden, as children who are suffering cannot contribute to our world as they should.
Education – Uneducated orphans and vulnerable children in the community compounds the HIV-poverty vicious circle.
