About Virtuous Heart Foundation

We are a community-driven organization dedicated to transforming lives through education, sustainable agriculture, and holistic community development in Uganda. Every child deserves a chance to dream, learn, and thrive.

Our Story

A Journey of Hope and Transformation

Virtuous Heart Foundation was born from a deep-rooted desire to create meaningful change in the lives of vulnerable children and families in Uganda. What started as a small initiative in Matugga, Wakiso has grown into a beacon of hope for hundreds of families across the region.

Our founder, Angella Kawala, witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by children in her community—lack of access to education, food insecurity, and limited opportunities for growth. Driven by compassion and an unwavering belief in the potential of every child, she established Virtuous Heart Foundation to bridge these gaps and create pathways to brighter futures.

Today, we continue to expand our reach, touching more lives and building stronger communities through our integrated approach to development. Our work is guided by the belief that sustainable change comes from empowering communities to become self-sufficient while providing the support they need to thrive.
