FFC is addressing fragile, unsupported families caught in a cycle where low income, limited parental care, lack of child preparedness, and unaddressed mental distress feed off each other—leading to unstable families, child abuse and neglect, and ultimately preventing children from thriving.

Families Fit for Children (FFC) is a not-for-profit organization, promoting healthy families in which every child is safe and is prepared for a safe, resilient and responsible future. FFC is a registered Community Based Organization in Kasese District under registration number “1834” that has been implementing child protection and mental health focused interventions, in the district since 2018. It is also registered with the Registrar of companies (registration number 80010000753486). The organization has operations in the lower local governments of Mpondwe Lhubiriha town council (MLTC), Bwera and Nyakiyumbu Sub counties, with offices located in Bwera Subcounty. The project shall first be piloted in the current sub counties of operation before it can be scaled up to other areas

The target group include: Children (9-12 years), Young adults/youth, House maids, Learning institutions, Day care service centers, Parents/Guardians and Caregivers in children’s homes and rehabilitation centers for juveniles. Services are to be offered to any institution and family living or operating in Uganda. 

A needs assessment conducted by FFC in August 2025 confirmed critical gaps in:

  • Parenting skills
  • Family income
  • Community child protection mechanisms. These findings drive our integrated approach to solving this crisis
