Every Child a Wonder

Nyimusa Foundation empowers marginalized children and orphans in Uganda through quality education, healthcare, food, and a safe environment. Registered in both Sweden and Uganda, we combine international support with local expertise to create sustainable change.

About

From one child's story, to a growing movement

Nyimusa Foundation was founded in 2016 by Sofia Graflund and Ssuna Derrick with a clear vision: to become Uganda’s most transparent and sustainable NGO. Today, Nyimusa supports children facing malnutrition, child labour, abuse, and lack of education — providing protection, care, and opportunities to thrive.
