Children and vulnerable adults must be safe.
We work with children living with chronic illness, their families, and communities under economic strain. Safeguarding is not optional. It is the foundation of everything we do.
Report a concern
If a child or vulnerable adult is at risk, tell us immediately.
Safeguarding concerns go directly to our Safeguarding Lead — a board member independent of operations. Your report will be handled in confidence.
Email (confidential)
safeguarding@kabukyetrust.orgIn person
Visit our office in Kamuli and ask to speak privately with the Safeguarding Lead or Executive Director.
We take every concern seriously. If you are a child or vulnerable person and you are not safe, please tell someone you trust — a teacher, a health worker, a community leader, or us.
