One of the long range goals of KFU is to create a media center equipped with computers, audio and visual equipment, a library of books, games, puzzles and art media to enhance the growth and creativity of the underserved children in the slums of Kampala. A computer lab will create revenue for the nonprofit as well as teach our women and children computer skills. The computer themed t-shirt quilts were handmade by a group of women to raise funds to advance this project. All proceeds from this raffle will go directly to the program.

In the recent climate of COVID hopelessness, when our students are unable to attend classes and their parents are helpless to earn money for food, it was more than a minor miracle when the board of directors and members of KFU Africa learned that there is always hope even in the direst times. Jeannie Driscoll made a dream come true when she felt a calling to support the Black Lives Matter movement by donating $100,000 to advance the mission of Kids First by purchasing property near the slums where we work. This purchase makes it possible to move the organization toward a position of sustainability and provide a safe house for women suffering from domestic violence, a dry place to seek shelter during the flood season, a home office, storage facility, a training center, craft store, a garden and a media center.
