Who We Are

Marles Children’s Foundation Uganda (MCFU) is a charitable non-profit organization dedicated to help underprivileged children.
MCFU employs a holistic approach in our strategic and implementation plan to impact on illiteracy, diseases, and poverty reduction because the underlying causes are multi-factorial and interlinked.
