Gertrude Cares Foundation is a community-rooted charity that believes every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and live with dignity. Founded by Ms. Gertrude Tumusiime, the foundation was born out of her powerful story of resilience — a woman who once hustled through Kampala’s busy Kikuubo market but refused to let her humble beginnings define her future.
Through Skylark Junior School, we provide education sponsorships, mentorship, and basic health support to children from underprivileged backgrounds. Each child we support is a step closer to breaking the cycle of poverty and building a future filled with hope.
To create a world where every child, regardless of background, has access to quality education, good health, and the opportunity to reach their full potential.
To empower underprivileged children through education, mentorship, and healthcare support.
At Gertrude Cares Foundation, we believe that true change begins with compassion and opportunity. Our work focuses on giving children from underprivileged backgrounds access to quality education, healthcare, and mentorship — because every child deserves a fair chance to thrive.
Education is at the heart of what we do. We identify children from struggling families and help them access quality learning opportunities at Skylark Junior School.
At Gertrude Foundation, we believe that education goes beyond the classroom. Through mentorship programs, we nurture discipline, confidence, and Christian values in every child.
A child’s wellbeing is essential for success in school and life. We provide basic health care, hygiene essentials, and nutrition support to ensure that children stay strong and ready to learn.
Every smile tells a story, and every story reflects the power of compassion. Through our gallery, we invite you to witness the impact of your support — children learning with joy, receiving care, and growing into confident young leaders.
Behind every act of kindness lies a story worth sharing. Through our blog, we bring you inspiring stories of transformation, community impact, and the everyday heroes who make our mission possible.
