A counsellor's conviction became a community's hope and lifeline
Bold Child Uganda Foundation was founded in 2023 by Isaac Otikiro, an author, educator, and counsellor who grew up in this exact community and spent a few years working and connecting with children in Uganda's underserved rural communities. What he saw-children acting out, shutting down, falling behind-wasn't bad behaviour. It was unprocessed pain.
​
Isaac knew that punishing or ignoring these children wasn't the answer. What they needed was safety, understanding, and an empowered ecosystem capable of responding with compassion. So he started small. a handful of families about (16) borrowed a community church, and the first ever trauma-informed parenting classes were launched, Hope & belief started rising, and families started to shift
​
Three years later, Bold Child Uganda Foundation has reached 300+ children and families across 6 communities- and guess what, we're just getting started.
