Our Team
Compassion. Commitment. Unity.
Not every child has the chance to grow up in safety.
At CCU, we create a place full of hope, love, and care – a space where children can learn, grow, and develop new opportunities for their future.
Our Ugandan and German teams work hand in hand to make this possible.
