We rescue children from the streets, help them heal, and reunite them with their families.
Give monthly to fund the daily work (outreach, family tracing, food, and school) or give once to help where it's needed most.
Rescuing children from the streets doesn't just transform their lives, it prevents future crime and protects us all.
Our child protection pathway: seven stages, one child at a time.
We go to where the children are, build trust, and bring food, clothing, and basic care.
We take time to understand each child's needs, risks, and family situation.
When a child is ready, we connect them to temporary safe care through trusted partners.
Care and counselling to heal trauma and rebuild confidence.
We find and assess safe family connections before any reunion.
Back to school, or skills training for older children.
We help children settle home safely, and keep walking with them.
One day, a reception centre and rehabilitation home where children come straight off the streets into safety: a bed, a meal, counselling, school, and a way back to family. It's the dream we're working towards.
Every week our team walks the streets, traces families, and pays for food, school, and care. Monthly gifts keep that going.
Join The Open Door and give monthly. Your gift covers the daily work that never stops: outreach, family tracing, food, and care.
Cover one child's schooling, healthcare, and care. You'll get updates and letters as they grow, so you see exactly who you're helping.

Mtaani was founded by Tumwesigye Ronald, who survived these same Kampala streets before qualifying as an Advocate of the High Court. He started Mtaani so no child would have to face the street alone.

Our team visited boys rescued from the streets, brought clothes, and watched them grow stronger week by week.
