About Childlife Network International Inc.

ChildLife Network International Inc. is a Canadian education charity based in downtown London on Richmond St. The organization serves children, teachers, and communities in Uganda and neighboring African countries, with a specific focus on promoting healing through character education for those marginalized by child abuse, wars, and HIV/AIDS. The charity offers several primary programs designed to build self-esteem, improve health and wellness, and empower positive decision-making. The Children’s Hope Center in Kabalagala serves children ages 4-24 through workshops, self-study, sports, music, and life-skills programs, as well as after-school activities like homework help and computer literacy. Other initiatives include the Equip to Equip program, which trains Ugandan teachers and mentors to address challenging behaviors, and The Constructive Citizen Project, which inspires young people to lead community projects such as cleaning hospitals or facilitating hygiene programs. Additionally, the organization runs the Dream Soccer Program for youths aged 6-15 and provides the Dream Building Program curriculum for teachers and children. Founded in 2007 by Allan and Maggie Ssemenjunyi, the organization was established to provide sustainable solutions for vulnerable children. The charity describes itself as a way to complete a circle of transformation from book learning to skill development and livelihoods, a vision further supported by the upcoming HopeWorks Centre near Jinja. The leadership team includes Founder and President Allan Ssemugeny, Executive Director and Chair of the Board Franz Enns, Board Treasurer Cathy Milne, Board Member Thomas Parsons, Board Member Tamar Malic, and Uganda Program Director Lubali Ronald Hope.
