About Us

Saved by Music Foundation is a registered non-government community based organization and was started by ex street children with the aim of helping vulnerable children (many of which are street children) and those coming from the poorest families in the community so that they become skilled, productive and self-sustainable to overcome poverty through skills empowerment for social transformation. Many of the children go on streets because either their all or one of their parents died of AIDS and other related and tropical diseases or because they are abused by their parents due to the high level irresponsible drinking of alcohol that render these parents being not in control of providing the necessary basic family needs hence children resort to streets in search of a living.

 

Many children in Uganda are homeless (street children) and impoverished. They need care and education. Some are single orphans, some total orphans and others were neglected and dropped by their parents.

 

Some children lost their parents due to an illness like AIDS, Malaria, and other related diseases and others are dropped and run out from home because of severe child abuse caused by the high level of alcoholism in the country that has made their parents irresponsible. This has caused most of these children to go on streets in search of what to eat and earn a living having no one to care for them.

 

Saved by music foundation has resorted to collecting the children and giving them a better living as compared to that they have had before and give them education. By helping the absolute poorest of the poor we can make a great impact on the society and decrease the poverty burden in Mbale and the country at large.

The organization and activities help empower at risk Youths with skills to overcome poverty and support vulnerable children live a healthy and productive life. We form a Non Government Organization (NGO) located in Mbale District, Eastern Uganda, started as a result of the appalling hard situations in the community amongst disadvantaged young people, that had led to a rise in crime rates, street children, early pregnancies and early marriages leave alone dropping out of school by many children and youth. Lack of employment, death or separation of parents, lack of school fees and other scholastic materials, drug and forms of child abuse have been responsible. Founders of the organization discovered that providing the affected and vulnerable children and youth with a means of survival and keeping them busy can help in reducing the impact of this situation on the community. Our mission is to help Revive Hopes of the most Vulnerable young people to become skilled , self-sufficient and productive.


The aim is to give vulnerable children the chance to learn skills that would offer them a route out of poverty, lifting them off the streets and away from the risks of drug culture, violence and crime.
