Who We Are

The Uganda Child Rights Protection Mission (UCRPM) is a child-centered, non-profit, non-political, and humanitarian organization committed to promoting, protecting, and defending the rights and wellbeing of children across Uganda.

The Organization was established in response to the growing challenges affecting children, including poverty, school dropout, child labor, abuse, neglect, exploitation, discrimination, limited access to healthcare, early marriages, and other violations of children's rights.

UCRPM exists to ensure that children are protected, empowered, educated, and supported to reach their full potential while enjoying their rights as recognized under the Constitution of Uganda and internationally recognized child protection principles.

Our History

The Uganda Child Rights Protection Mission (UCRPM) was founded by Bogere Andrew with a vision of creating a safer and more supportive environment for children throughout Uganda.

The idea was born from the recognition that many children continue to face barriers that prevent them from enjoying their rights, accessing education, receiving adequate healthcare, and growing up in safe and supportive communities.

UCRPM was therefore established as a platform to unite communities, volunteers, partners, institutions, and supporters in advancing the protection, empowerment, and welfare of children.

To create a Uganda where every child lives in dignity, safety, equality, freedom, and access to opportunities for a brighter future.
