About us
Who we are
We are a team of change-makers dedicated to helping children, women and the Elderly achieve their goals. We empower them with the knowledge and resources they need to create a better future for themselves.
African Response Foundation (ARF) is a Ugandan Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) registered with National NGO Bureau registration number INDR13699739NB. It is also registered as a company limited by guarantee with Uganda Registration Service Bureau. ARF is licensed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to operate as an NGO under Permit number INDP000739NB as issued on 5th April 2018.
The African Response Foundation was founded in 2013 by a group of concerned citizens who were moved by the plight of vulnerable communities in Africa particularly Uganda. Since then, we have grown into a leading organization in the region, with a strong reputation for delivering effective and sustainable programs. We started extending help to needy children and destitute women who were eager to study and work for a better life respectively. This moment intensified when we found that there were many such underprivileged children who needed help with food, shelter and education. Our team expanded and we spread out in different villages to make sure we cover all possible areas and help as many children as possible. We now run shelter homes, a semi-strucured school and a reasonable mess that helps such needy young people.
