Who is MCCC?

“A Home Away from Home” – Mukisa Children’s Community Centre is a physical space for children and caregivers to learn and explore through play, art, music, sports and more!

Mukisa Children’s Community Centre is a membership based non-profit organization that empowers the community to build healthy minds of pre-school children. Every child deserves access to quality care and vulnerable communities do not have access to knowledge, activities, physical space, and tools necessary to support early childhood development. We strive to improve the physical, social and emotional health of young children between the ages of 3 to 5 years.

In Uganda, 6 in 10 girls and 7 in 10 boys experienced physical violence in childhood.

Every child deserves access to quality care and vulnerable communities do not have access to knowledge, activities, physical space, and tools necessary to support early childhood development.
Mukisa Children’s Community Centre empowers the community to build healthy minds of pre-school children. Think of us as a boys and girls club with programs targeting all members of the family. We strive to improve the physical, social and emotional health of young children between the ages of 3 to 5 years through art, music, sport and play.

Filling the Gaps

Governments and organizations focus on access to information and services for maternal and infant health care and primary school age children. But at Mukisa we realized a gap in support for pre-school children between the ages of 3 to 5 years and the need to support the entire support system around those children. The support for the entire system includes skill development for vulnerable single mothers and Early childhood development awareness for the community and school leaders, for example. We give them a safe place to have access to play and learn. Our programs demonstrate and encourage caregiver and child engagement with the ultimate long term objective of changing behaviors to help improve the physical, social and emotional health of young children to become responsible contributors to their communities.
