a future for deprived children in Uganda

Arise and Shine Netherlands

What do we want to achieve?

Enable a future for deprived and vulnerable children.
Support a good local organisation that has the same goal.

How do we do this?

By monthly providing the resources to pay the salaries of the social worker, the 'aunties' (caregivers) and the guard of Arise and Shine Uganda (AASU). The aunties take care of children that cannot live with their parents, as soon as they arrive at AASU. Arise and Shine Uganda is the organisation that we support. The money for this activity comes from private donors.
– By supporting AASU in the creation of foster care so that the children can be placed in kinship or foster care if they cannot live with their parents. The money for this comes from charity funds.

Why do we do this?

- Because we want a future for Ugandan children.
– Because we want the heartwarming work of Arise and Shine Uganda to be continued.
– Because we see the need of the aunties, the social worker, and the guard for sufficient income to support their own families.

We support Arise and Shine Uganda (AASU)

Your mother dies while you are born. Your father must go to work and cannot take care of you. Then what?

This is a situaton where AASU may offer a solution. When children that cannot live with their parents enter AASU, they are first given the chance to gain strength. If they are ill (e.g. from malaria) medical care is provided. Meanwhile AASU tries to improve the situation at their parents' place, so that they can return to their families. If this is impossible, kinship parents or foster parents are sought, so that the children grow up in a family. The families are supported with advice and through the "income generating projects" of Arise and Shine, which provide mothers with some extra income to run their families and to pay for schoolfees. With a good school education, the children will have more chance for work and for a bright future.


Arise and Shine Uganda has been founded in 2010 by Sharon Nyanjura at the age of 26. She is a Ugandan woman who has lived in a children's home. She was able to study at a Ugandan university. She wants to invest the education that she was so lucky to get into the the people around here that did not get this chance. With her Ugandan co-workers - and helped by volunteers from all over the world - she works for deprived children and families.

Who are we?

The stichting (foundation) Arise and Shine Netherlands (AASN) was founded by Elly and Henk Boots, in close cooperation with Sharon Nyanjura. They could not bear the idea that the Baby Care Home would get into problems due to dwindling financial resources. There is a pressing need for donors who want to give a monthly contribution in order to cover the ever returning costs of the Baby Care Home, like the salaries of the aunties.

The board of the Foundation AASN consists of Henk Boots (chairman), Rianne Vrolijk (secretary), and Dorinda Verhoeven (treasurer). All of us have stayed for some time at AASU in Uganda. Arise and Shine Uganda. We know the organisation from within.

Help the Children

Support the children of Africa just by giving a little and be the savior for them.

Rich in cultural heritage, with the magnificence of Mount Everest and the Himalayas as a backdrop,
landlocked Nepal remains one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world.

We can only achieve this with your help. Your small help can bring the big change.
