At Forever Angels Baby Home we care for between 30 and 40 orphaned babies and toddlers at any time.  Our biggest expense is milk, but as the babies are weaned, we need to buy lots of fresh fruit and vegetables to ensure they have a good diet.  We spend around £150 per month on fruit and vegetables and would love your support to buy this.

Our professional counsellors help guide the whole family in their journey through grief. 

Uganda hosts the largest number of refugees in Africa (1.4 million), and 58% of them are children under 18 years old. The basic right to education of refugees is often denied. Living in a foreign country fleeing violence and persecution creates an extremely difficult situation for learning. Where education can continue, it is often of poor quality; in Uganda, this is affecting hundreds of thousands of children. The majority of schools do not have the infrastructure to accommodate overcrowded classrooms and the basic needs of children. Overcrowding is the hardest obstacle for teachers and students alike. This makes the situation for both teacher and learner almost impossible. Infrastructure needs to be adequate in order to make schools safer and more accessible, to all children affected by conflict. We aim to provide sufficient space, desk and learning materials to improve primary school children's learning outcomes and secure their academic future toward secondary level.

Windle International empowers people to make lasting change in their own lives, in their communities and in wider society. We do this by creating access to quality education and training across East Africa and the Horn of Africa for refugees, communities affected by conflict, and those who have been marginalised in society. We believe that positive change is achieved, and peaceful societies are created, when the people who have been most affected by conflict are empowered to become change-makers in their communities. In Uganda, we have been recognized Best International Education Humanitarian NGO in the country, in both 2019 and 2020.

Be Well Collective provides monthly workshops which unite young people as a part of the Be Well community. Lead by an expert health professional, who provides an educational workshop to teach practical tools and skills to young people to help improve their mental health and wellbeing.

• Over 400,000 people die from malaria every year - 67% of those deaths were children, under 5 years of age.   It is a tradgedy when malaria can be prevented so easily.  Forever Angels supports families by providing them with a mosquito net to protect them from malaria and give their children a safer childhood.  Nets costs just £8 - which literally saves lives.  Can you help us?

Sudan has a long-standing tradition of hosting refugees. For decades, it has kept its doors open to people fleeing war, hunger and hardship. Importantly, Sudan is one of the major hosting countries for refugees fleeing the deadly conflict in South Sudan. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the education gaps in the country, while the virus keeps spreading. Children are returning to school in unsafe conditions and without protection.

Windle International empowers people to make lasting change in their own lives, in their communities and in wider society. We do this by creating access to quality education and training across East Africa and the Horn of Africa for refugees, communities affected by conflict, and those who have been marginalised in society. We believe that every child should have the capacity to access quality education safely, and reach their full potential.
