Child Partnership
At True Mercy Africa, we believe in nurturing the potential of every child, providing them with the support and resources they need to thrive and succeed
Child Partnership is a unique opportunity to directly impact the life of a child in need. By becoming a Child Partner, you forge a special connection with a specific child, enabling them to receive crucial resources and support.
How Partnership Changes Lives
Orphaned children in Lugazi live with relatives. That is often an elderly grandmother with little resources to feed another mouth. Partnering with a child means basic living conditions improve. The children receive:
-
Two free meals every school day
-
A free education
-
A free uniform
-
Free primary health care
-
Partners often support the family too by donating to provide cooking utensils, beds, blankets and mosquito nets. Some have provided pit latrines and even new houses.
How Partnered Children are Chosen
There are many children in Lugazi waiting and hoping for a Partner. Priority is given to an orphan who has lost both parents, then to a child who has lost one parent, then to a child with both parents who are still alive and working hard to support the child but are destitute.
The Partner’s Commitment
Partners make a monthly contribution by standing order or direct debit. It is also suggested that they write to the child regularly; a Partner’s interest and encouragement can make a huge difference to their child’s performance in school.
​
In return, TMA will visit the child regularly, send a Home Study Report and a copy of the child’s annual school report. We will also send an individual or school photo.

As a TMA supporter, you will also receive a newsletter with information about the charity.
