A dream rooted in compassion
Kupferman Foundation Africa began with the desire to ensure vulnerable children had someone to care for them, protect them and remind them that their lives matter.

Since 2019, we have worked to restore dignity, happiness and hope to orphaned, abandoned and vulnerable children in Mbale City, Uganda.


Kupferman Foundation Africa is a humanitarian orphanage and child support organization located in Mbale City, Uganda. Since its establishment in 2019, the foundation has dedicated itself to restoring hope and dignity to orphaned, abandoned and vulnerable children.
Many of the children we care for come from difficult backgrounds marked by poverty, loss, neglect and hardship. We strive to create a loving family environment where every child feels safe, valued, protected and supported.
Our home provides shelter, food, clothing, education, healthcare, emotional support and spiritual guidance. Beyond meeting physical needs, we help children regain confidence, happiness and hope for the future.
Every smile we see, every child who returns to school and every life transformed reminds us why this mission matters. We believe kindness has the power to change lives forever.
What started as a small act of compassion gradually became a mission serving vulnerable children in Mbale City and surrounding communities.
Kupferman Foundation Africa began with the desire to ensure vulnerable children had someone to care for them, protect them and remind them that their lives matter.
The foundation was named in honour of Stephanie Kupferman, whose generosity, kindness and continued support inspired hope for many children. Her compassion became part of the foundation upon which this mission was built.
Over the years, the foundation has become a place where children laugh again, learn again and begin to dream again in a safe and caring family environment.
Through donors, volunteers, sponsors and well-wishers around the world, we continue helping children access opportunities they once thought were impossible.
Our mission is to provide love, care, education, shelter, healthcare and emotional support to orphaned and vulnerable children while empowering them to become responsible, confident and successful individuals in society.
We are committed to creating a safe environment where every child can discover their potential and build a brighter future regardless of their background.
Our vision is a world where every child has equal access to love, protection, education, healthcare and opportunity regardless of their social or economic situation.
We dream of raising a generation of children who grow with confidence, hope, strong values and the ability to positively transform their communities and society.
These principles guide how we care for children, work with families and build relationships with supporters.
We treat every child with love, kindness, patience and understanding.
We create a safe and caring family environment where every child feels that they belong.
We believe education is one of the strongest tools for breaking the cycle of poverty.
We inspire children to believe in themselves and in the possibility of a brighter future.

Kupferman Foundation Africa carries Stephanie Kupferman's name in honour of the kindness, generosity and continued support that helped bring hope to vulnerable children.
Her compassion reflects a truth at the heart of our work: one caring person can help change the direction of a child's life. That spirit continues to inspire our commitment to every child we serve.
Kindness becomes powerful when it gives a child the courage to hope again.
Our work is seen in smiles restored, confidence rebuilt and dreams made possible.

Your support can help provide food, education, healthcare, clothing, shelter and loving care to children who need it most.
