Support SKOM
Stand with the children of the Ssese Islands.
Your support can help children aged 5–15 learn, stay healthy, stay safe and grow up within strong families and communities.
Why support children in the Ssese Islands
Full of potential. Too often out of reach.
The Ssese Islands are home to children with the same dreams and gifts as children anywhere. But island life can place quality schools, health services and child protection out of reach.
Where families depend on fishing, some children leave school early or take on work such as net mending, fish processing and night fishing. Limited psychosocial support and safeguarding structures can leave children more vulnerable.
SKOM exists to change that — with learning, care, protection and community working together.
Geographic isolation
Services are harder and costlier to reach on the islands.
Child labour & dropout
Fishing economies can pull children out of school.
Protection & health gaps
Limited support and safeguarding structures increase risk.
Where support can contribute
Every pillar needs partners.
Support for SKOM’s 2026–2029 program can contribute to planned activities such as:
Well-being
- Nutrition support
- Health & hygiene education
- Sport & safe recreation
Protection
- Child protection team training
- Child labour prevention
- Inclusion & child safety
Community
- Parenting workshops
- Youth community service
- Lake conservation
