How We Started
Educate an Orphan is a non-profit making organization that
was initiated by the 2017 executive committee of Kikoni
Muslim Union, under Makerere University Muslim Students
Association, MUMSA, with a chief aim of supporting
education for the under privileged and vulnerable orphans.
After realizing the project would be of great impact to society,
the committee sought away to make it happen. Eventually, it
decided to launch the project by organizing the Orphan
Education Run 2017, to act as a trigger for the project.
The committee hoped to mobilize funds both from the
subscription of the participants and the external sponsors of
the run. The funds from the run would then be donated to the
Orphans interms of scholastic materials, sanitary pads, school
uniforms, bursaries, and the like. And yes, the Orphan
Education Run 2017, was successfully organized on the 6th of
May 2017, and so the organization was launched.
Educate An Orphan is a fully registered with registration
number 80020000410058, and God willing, very soon we
shall be given our working permit by the NGO Board to carry
out our activities in all areas of East Africa. Nevertheless, at
the moment we are operating legaly within the legal
boundaries governing philanthropy in the government of the
Republic of Uganda.
