hadows of a Child was founded in 2013 by Enoch Saaki, He lived in Kakooge Sub-County, Nakasongola District for many years as a teenager. He was exposed to challenges and hopelessness that his peers faced. These were children born into poverty and deprivation. There was not much confidence that their own futures would turn out any differently than those of the poor society around them. Enoch Saaki returned to kakooge as an adult to find that the challenges he witnessed while growing up were still persistent. It was then that he began to ponder over how to transform the community that was so dear to his heart. He realized that every suffering child was in that sorry state, because of challenges faced by those meant to be nurturing them i.e. their primary caretakers (a mother or guardian); their families and the community in which they lived.
