The Wildflowers Foundation
The Wildflowers Foundation is located in Kiwoko Town, Nakaseke district. Kiwoko is a small town located 48 miles from Kampala and approximately 9 miles off of the main road; through papyrus swamps and a farming community. While it is a serene and beautiful area of Uganda, it also has a high population of young girls who drop out of school due to unplanned pregnancy, sexual exploitation and HIV/AIDS. The local government has been overwhelmed by cases of young women unequipped to provide for their children.
As a result, The Wildflowers Foundation was a dream Sarah Nassimbwa had for many years having grown up in this community and witnessing the great need she knew something needed to change for the young mothers. The Wildflowers Foundation was born after years of dreaming and hoping for something better and a desire to empower mothers to care for their own little ones.
Who We Serve
There are many ways to approach the orphan crisis, we have chosen to partner with young mothers to ensure that they have a safe place to belong, know their worth, and continue their education. Through counseling, Bible studies, and scholarships we build relationships right where they are. By supporting young mothers, we hope to see children who are thriving under their care. We want to see them empowered to provide for their precious children and thrive in their communities.
What We Do
We advocate for the rights of at-risk mothers through outreaches in the community, providing counseling, and working with local government.
We provide education for young mothers who are unable to attend school through daycare programs, scholarships, and job training programs.
We empower mothers with parenting classes, mentorship, Bible studies, and business grants upon completion of training programs.
Kristianna & Sarah
As the Wildflowers Foundation grows, we hope to give it a permanent place in the community to be a safe haven for at-risk mothers and their children.
We have dreams of buying land in the Nakaseke district to build a trade school with dormitories and space for little ones so that young mothers can attend school while being supported and empowered to care for their babies. This will act as a safe haven that will equip these women to thrive in their communities.
We would love for you to journey with us!
