Ordinary Hero UK

We exist to love the forgotten, vulnerable, poor, sick children and families of Uganda and intentionally work with vulnerable children and families to help provide health support, food support and education security that poverty doesn't provide. We are passionate about access to safe food, clean water, good education, access to medical care, safe housing and the general wellbeing of others.

We are boots on the ground and our objectives are to help relieve poverty, help the well-being of vulnerable children and adults through education, health security, medical provision, mental health awareness (through learning modules) and learning new skills.

With the help and advice of local leaders and local ministries we are bringing care to vulnerable families in need by practically showing love and support on a daily basis.

Sometimes the work we do is instantly gratifying, like when we facilitate the provision of life saving medical care but in most cases we are in this for the long haul through investing daily in relationships.

A note about COVID please: THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC CONTINUES TO AFFECT THE COMMUNITIES OHUK WORK IN. WE ARE STILL HERE HELPING. THEY NEED YOU NOW MORE THAN EVER.

We have heard of children who have been 4 days without food. For us, this is an urgent concern and breaks our hearts. We cannot sit on our (clean) hands and do nothing.

Food insecurity and hunger are caused by many factors, often being intertwined with one another. In general, the one principal cause of hunger is poverty, now we have COVID to add to the mix. The apparent lack of food security in the area is something we are able to address RIGHT NOW. With your help we distributed over 600 food hampers through the pandemic in 2020. We want to continue into 2021.

Just £4.50 provides food for a child for an entire week and puts food in a belly that would otherwise be hungry.

Every life matters, and we strive to max out every £1. Your once-off or recurring gift will help meet the urgent needs of vulnerable children and families living in poverty. Thank you.
