About Us Concern for the Future is an indigenous local NGO. Our goal is to locate children living on the edges of society and mold them into leaders. Concern for the Future helps our smart, motivated AIDS orphans and child soldiers prepare for university. Concern for the Future enrolls 75 students in the best boarding schools in Uganda. They are doing incredibly well. Photojournalist Stephen Shames started supporting a single orphan, Michael Kasule, in 2000. By 2006 the organization he founded grew to 55 youngsters. It was always Steve's goal for Concern for the Future to become independent and self-sustaining. We reached our most important milestone in June, 2007, when the Ugandan staff and students took over management of the program. Concern for the Future is led by Director Monica Nankoma. She is helped by nine volunteer "moms" and "dads", six of whom are HIV positive, and an all-Ugandan board of directors. Thanks to incredible school children, caring religious communities, forward-thinking foundations, enlightened corporations, and people like you, the dream we had three years ago of providing the best education for orphans, working children, kids is refugee camps, and child soldiers is being realized. Concern for the Future offers an innovative remedy to the issue of child soldiers and abducted children; and to the HIV / AIDS crisis. Our model is replicable. While the education of young leaders and innovators will not solve all of Africa's woes, it is a crucial component of the solution and a proven remedy for poverty. how our approach alleviates poverty, Please help a child achieve his or her dreams.
