Who We Are

Our Story

Masaka Relief Foundation (MRF) was founded in May 2021 and is headquartered in Kisuuna Village, Nyendo Mukungwe Division, Masaka District, Uganda.

MRF is a local NGO that was founded having realized that in Uganda, more than a third of all inhabitants live below the poverty line, and that children, adolescents and youths are the primary victims of this deplorable economic situation. Their rights are neglected and abused in many ways such as lack of access to education, child marriages, child labor, street living, HIV/AIDS and lack of better health services.

MRF cherishes the proper growth and development of children and empowers youth with knowledge and skills to become responsible adults and to realize their life goals and is passionate about mothers of child bearing age.

MRF believes that children's rights, social and economic empowerment for adolescents and youth, community inclusion in development and empowerment programs should be key as a means to overall national development, and that such programs must be matched by quality and equity.

MRF has made and continues to make tremendous contributions towards Uganda's children, youth and economically supporting families to achieve the desired status, legally supporting children and youth realize social and legal justice as well as emphasizing the right to health, education, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene. This is attested by a cross-section of stakeholders across the board including Central and Local governments, other CSOs, the community, and development partners.
