Believing in the children of Uganda

What is Biojemmss?

Biojemmss is a charity dedicated to Rescuing children from exploitation and abuse, Restoring them and their communities through comprehensive support, and Releasing them into freedom and transformation. 

We deliver initiatives to identify, address, and prevent child abuse, and are registered with relevant authorities in the UK and Uganda.

Our vision is to empower children and families to thrive in Uganda and Sub-Saharan Africa. We focus on rescuing and safeguarding children, meeting basic needs, providing educational access, and transforming communities.

Our impact to date

Since 2009, Biojemmss has supported thousands of vulnerable children through residential and community initiatives, rescuing them from abuse and restoring them within families across over 50% of Rukungiri District. An entire generation of children has graduated from our residential provision into independence, with our Ugandan base now managed by alumni qualified in Social Work and related fields.

We are locally-led, with a strong Ugandan team planning, developing, and monitoring our programs. They engage with the community, listen to beneficiaries, and collaborate with local leaders and stakeholders. Biojemmss is a proud member of the Children At Risk Action Network, working for collaborative change for children in need. 

Where we work

Biojemmss, Uganda currently run two full-time care facilities: one in Rukungiri for the younger children and another smaller in Kampala for our older members attending university. We have recently purchased our own land in Kanyinya and are developing the facilities to meet the growing demand for our services.  

We deliver community-based initiatives from our Rukungiri and Kanyinya branches including children's camps, workshops and day-conferences for thousands of children each year alongside family-strengthening and prison work with children at significant risk of abuse. Biojemmss has rescued the majority of children we work with from existing abusive circumstances, including child labour, exploitation, and other forms of child abuse. 

We aim to create safe spaces for children and therefore also partner with other local charities to improve the quality of provision for children such as delivering safeguarding training and providing resources. 

Biojemmss, UK is based out of South Wales and has volunteers, trustees and ambassadors who work remotely across the UK championing our work.
