Nakupenda Empowerment Charity Foundation was founded with a clear goal: educating and protecting children and for them and their families to thrive, all over Africa.

Care & therapy

One of our core programs. We offer daycare services to families with abused children, so parents can go to work. Daycare staff are all volunteers with special training.
