Children in the Bwindi Community lack the basic needs. Hungry and without supplies, children remain in the cycle of poverty.
You Can Help Them Thrive
Help provide proper medical care, nutrition, clean water, and an education, you can help the children of Bwindi break the cycle of poverty.
The Challenge is Great for Bwindi Children
Even those who are fortunate enough to make it into a school program often don’t have enough means within their families to continue over the long term. Children in the Bwindi area face a lack of transportation, funds for school supplies and fees, accommodation, proper clothing, nutrition, and medical care, and technology.

Bwindi Uganda Children Charities (BUCC) is a U.S. nonprofit founded to rescue orphans and vulnerable children in Uganda and provide a safe home and education in partnership with Bwindi Eco Children Uganda (BECU) located in Uganda.
BECU provides free education programs to orphans and vulnerable children from the community through its private school to
prepare children with the skills they need to succeed.
2024 Priorities
We have a number of priorities for 2024, a few of which are carrying over from 2023, and many of them are already completed.
Gibson Project
The Gibson Project is a combination 60-bed boys dorm and an apartment building with six units for teachers. This will include fresh water, wifi, educational tv and news, a kitchen, and laundry facilities. Special thanks to Mary Lois Gibson as the key donor on this project. Mary Lois is donating in honor of her brother, Paul Wilson of Abilene – a long-time employee of Abilene Christian University.
Estimated completion date: September 30
We invite you to review all that we are accomplishing for the children of Bwindi.
Growing Projects Create Demand
With growing school attendance and an increasing number of orphans and vulnerable children come growing financial demands.
In just six years the community has grown from 27 to around 100 orphans and vulnerable children and admitted 500 children into the private school. BUCC is currently seeking partners to invest in the long-term vision and help see these needy children to their day of success.
