Why We began!
About Us
At BCS, we are a group of passionate individuals who came together after witnessing the daily struggles of children with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and extreme poverty in Eastern Uganda.
The steps moved have deeply been driven by compassion
We are happy, because we started the journey!
“No child should be left behind because of illness or poverty.”

Who We Are
Bloom Child Support (BCS) is a community-based non- profit organization
nurturing children who face life’s toughest battles; chronic illness, disability, and poverty.
We work in the heart of Eastern Uganda, across Soroti, Kumi, Serere, and Katakwi, where too many children are left behind simply because they were born into vulnerability.
We are dreamers and doers, caregivers and changemakers – bound by one belief:
Every child deserves the chance to grow, to learn, and to laugh again.
Our Story
It began as a whisper of compassion - a calling felt deeply by a group of passionate individuals, after witnessing the silent suffering of children in hospital wards and forgotten villages.
One by one, BCS began to help - a medical bill here, a meal there, a child’s school fees quietly covered.
What started as a personal act of kindness grew into Bloom Child Support - a movement of love and action dedicated to ensuring that no child’s future is dimmed by circumstance.
Today, BCS continues that journey - building bridges of hope between vulnerable children, their families, and a community that believes in second chances.

Our Approach
We believe change happens when compassion meets action.
That’s why we work at three levels:
- Child: Direct care and support to ensure health, education, and emotional wellbeing.
- Family: Empowerment of caregivers through training and livelihoods.
- Community: Awareness and advocacy to create inclusive, stigma-free environments for all children.
Together, these form the heart of our mission; a holistic circle of care that helps children not just survive, but bloom.
