History traces back to the founder, Lukenge Daniel Louis, who experienced a difficult childhood. Growing up with 14 other family members in a single home was a struggle. Having a meal, education, clothing, medical care, and other necessities was a great miracle. Though his father was a teacher, his salary couldn't sustain the whole family because their mother was a mere housewife. This exposed Louis to the outside world, and he began working hard on people’s farmlands and carrying heavy loads in factory companies as a casual worker to ensure he could have a better life. Fortunately, in 2015, Louis achieved his Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science and Information Technology from Kampala University through hard struggle and became a farmer and businessman in practice. Focusing on his big dream of supporting underprivileged children in his community, Louis began the legal process to start a charity Community Based Organization. This led to the birth of the sponsorship project 'VISION KIDS FOUNDATION PROJECT' in 2016. Starting with borrowing 1 laptop from a friend and later buying 2, the Foundation has since reached out to many children in need despite countless challenges. We experienced a break-in, and all these laptops were stolen! Additionally, parents of impoverished homes could not afford to provide necessary computer training to their children and other essentials. When this kind of support is not provided, people residing in communities will face challenges of unemployment since computer knowledge is essential in almost all of Uganda’s economy. In February 2022, Vision Kids Foundation Project was re-established after facing challenges such as the theft of our laptops, the global pandemic COVID-19 which led to the closure of all schools, loss of jobs, and early unwanted pregnancies for 2 of our students because they were at home for an extended period. With serious commitment, Louis, along with his colleagues strived to continue with their vision. However, we still have many challenges. The project went back to its roots, offering free computer training to underprivileged children in our communities in partnership with the local schools around us. In 2020, a generous couple and friends of Louis, named “Rik and Anneke,” donated 3 laptops towards the re-establishment of the project to help the children. With these laptops, Vision Kids Foundation Project was only able to offer computer practicals to a few students. Later, in 2021, Louis's favorite cycling friend, Wesley, donated 4 more laptops, which have had a significant positive impact on our work. Currently, we’re renting 2 rooms in Wakisi along Jinja Kayunga road, but with limited space accommodating an office and a study room. However, we would like to expand by constructing our own space so that we can reduce the running costs and reach out to more vulnerable children. Vision Kids Foundation Project, therefore, welcomes partners and well-wishers who would wish to support and partner with us in any way possible
