The Melissa Prandi Children Foundation empowers impoverished communities in Uganda with educational opportunities, vocational training, microloans and donations of food and crucial supplies.
Our mission is to give youth access to quality and higher education.
With our “sponsor a student” program, our youth have become the first of their families to graduate from college!
Our vocational training centers & microloans empower young women to be economically independent and stable.

Our Vision
The Melissa Prandi Children Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2021 to transform living conditions in Kampala, Uganda’s poorest slums. We empower youth and young women through education, vocational training and economic independence programs.
We protect orphans and vulnerable children from being exploited and protect them from child labor.
Join our “Service and Safari for the Soul” trip in June for a chance offer community service and receive a first hand cross-cultural experience.
