Who We Are
Chrystal Children’s Center is a government approved transition center through Uganda’s Ministry of Gender, Labour, and Social Development. Our dedicated team has been rescuing abandoned, abused, and neglected newborns and children since 2016.
What We Do
The primary objective of Chrystal Children’s Center is to preserve, strengthen, and care for children and families throughout Uganda. Our team focuses on rescue, rehabilitation, and reintegration, through both center and community-based programs.
Get Involved
Volunteer with us and join the Chrystal family! For those who want to help, but cannot do so in person, there are many ways to become involved remotely. One way is to provide much needed financial support for each child’s daily needs of food, clothing, and medical care.
Success Stories
Since our opening in 2016, over 100 children have been successfully resettled into a safe environment, 17 children have received educational sponsorship, and 10 have been taken into foster care toward adoption.

Our Volunteers
Chrystal Children’s Center has hosted over 100 volunteers, from all over the world! Here’s what a few of our volunteers had to say about their experience.
Nothing could have prepared me for how incredible my experience was. It’s been about two years since, and I still think about the children constantly. I went with the intention to serve the kids, but what I didn’t realize was how much they would teach me.

Volunteering at Chrystal Children’s Center helped me become the person I always wanted to be. I learned what compassion is and how it feels to care for another person and want his happiness even more than I wish for myself.

Volunteering at Chrystal Children’s Center has opened my eyes to all the endless possibilities there are to add value to someone’s life. If you want to truly make a difference, ask yourself how you can be of service to this wonderful community.
