Ways to Support
Sponsor a child, or give to the funds that stand behind them.
Desire Paths depart from the prescribed or expected route. They can often lead to unexpected discoveries and experiences.
Desire Paths are an inspiring reminder of how individuals, when united by a common purpose or vision, can create powerful and meaningful change.
Desire Paths reflect our innate human desire for freedom and self-expression, and our ability to shape the world around us in ways that meet our needs and aspirations. When we take the road less traveled, we are not only making a practical choice, but also a symbolic one: we are challenging the status quo, asserting our agency, and co-creating the world we want to see.
As a supporter of Desire Child Care Organization, you help our children take a path of their own and arrive at a future they had a hand in making. Sponsor a Desire Kid or give to the funds below.
Top priority right now
Our Emergency Reserve helps us bridge the gaps in everything from food emergencies, school fees and supplies, as well as healthcare and hygiene.
It is also our reserve for medical and other unforeseen emergencies, so that we no longer have to put out calls for urgent support when a crisis arrives.
A single gift.
As the children grow, so does the cost of their basic needs. School fees go up, and they need more nutritious food, sanitary products and health care. From 2022 until this year, sponsorships covered all of their basic costs. They no longer do, so sponsorships are now $30, $60 and $120 a month.

Provides one child's full basic life support: Housing, Food, Educational Fees & School Supplies, Sanitary Products, and Basic Healthcare.
All of the above for one child, plus essential medical care for chronic health challenges.
Sickle Cell hero Lwanga Sillaje is an inspiration to us all. Lwanga has Sickle Cell Disease, and we never know when an attack will come. This reserve is held for his care, so that when one comes, the help is already there.
He plans to attend nursing school, so he can help other children with Sickle Cell. Join Team Lwanga for as little as $3 a month.
A single gift.
Amazzi means water. In Goloba’s honor, $35 buys 200 liters, about 53 gallons, of clean drinking water. Enough to supply all 33 kids for a whole month.
Since this campaign began, we have eliminated all cases of typhoid in our family.
A single gift.
Sponsorship covers a child’s everyday needs. This is for the days that ask for something more: a birthday, a holiday, a milestone, any occasion where a little extra would mean the world.
Give any amount, and tell us who it is for or what the occasion is.
Land of our own, so that we can grow our own food, sustain the children, and sell produce as a means of income for the organization. About $11,000 buys a full acre. The four acres come to about $44,000, and about $6,000 more starts the farm with seed, supplies and equipment, for $50,000 in all. Any amount moves us closer to the land.

Building the dream
A Desire Child Care residential arts-based school, where our children and future Desire Kids can be raised joyfully in nature, in a loving family environment, learn important skills, and look to the future with confidence and hope.
Our founder and director, Bugingo “Desire” Moses, is at home recovering and getting regular specialist treatment as an outpatient, after severe malaria affected his kidneys and his blood pressure and led to a transient ischemic attack.
A GoFundMe is raising $5,000 for his hospital bills and treatment.
Moreen had surgery for fibroadenoma breast tumors and is home now, recovering well.
Her medical bill is paid in full. This campaign is complete.
Thank you to all of Moreen’s heroes who made this happen.
Our International Advisory Board, with members from California, Ohio, Belgium, Spain, Uganda, and the UK, is open to anyone, anywhere in the world, and we are looking for dedicated supporters to take on three roles: Fundraising Campaign Coordinator, Sponsorship Coordinator, and Social Media Manager.
Our Board of Directors governs Desire Child Care Organization (DCCO) and is being formed now. As an Indigenous NGO, Desire must by Ugandan law be wholly controlled by Ugandan citizens, so every director is a Ugandan citizen. Both boards are volunteer positions and are unpaid.
00179 people and organizations have stood with these children since 2022.
Every gift on this list became food, school fees, medicine, or clean water for a child who needed it.
