Africa

Children and youth living in poverty in Africa experience the most harsh conditions of deprivation. We work in collaboration with five local organizations in Uganda and Ethiopia. These organizations offer a chance in life through the provision of opportunities where children and youth can thrive.

From the crowded streets in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to the small towns in the Central Region in Uganda; our Partners offer children and youth the tools to achieve their full potential. Despite tribal and political conflicts, natural disasters, health epidemics and current COVID-19 pandemic in Ethiopia and Uganda, A Chance In Life provides these local organizations with the financial resources needed to provide access to basic services for at-risk children and youth.
