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 domestic violence, unstable families, child abuse and neglect, and ultimately preventing children from thriving.

Families Fit for Children (FFC) is a child and family focused Not-For-Profit, Community-Based Organization operating in the Kasese District of Uganda since 2018, under registration number CBO/1834. The Organization was incorporated in 2015 with the Registrar of companies under registration number 80010000753486. FFC operates in the Lower Local Governments of Mpondwe Lhubiriha Town Council (MLTC), Bwera Sub County and Nyakiyumbu Sub County. The Head Office is Located in Bwera Sub County, Kakone I Village, Bwera Hospital Road.  

 

Since our founding, we have been dedicated to promoting healthy families where every child is safe, resilient, and prepared for a responsible future. Our work focuses on both prevention and mitigation, addressing existing community challenges while prioritizing proactive measures to protect children before crises occur. We serve children aged 0-17 and their parents/caregivers, including both Ugandan nationals and emigrants/migrants residing in the country.

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.
