Who we are
Brief Background of CHOCU
CHOCU which stands for Children Helping Other Children in Uganda, was found by Edna Allsop Henke, Lynn Henke and Charles Lukyamuzi. It was founded with the aim of providing early childhood care and education to vulnerable children and building resilience to help them overcome childhood vulnerability. The organization is focused on improving the outcomes of the most vulnerable children in rural areas, one school at a time. CHOCU also seeks to address health issues faced by many rural children, such as malnutrition and resulting illness, and to provide early intervention and education to help children achieve their potential, be healthy, safe, and resilient.

Fundraisers for startup expenses. Children who are from a richer area can be fundraisers for children in outlying areas. Plan a presentation for school officials, and local businesses to raise money for your use in getting to where you can be successful in getting shoes for children who need them, also ask them to promote a donation box for shoes for children. After getting permission from the schools have an assembly and present a fund-raising opportunity for the children to get donations from their relatives and friends and to bring old shoes of theirs that are still in good condition to pass on to the children. Do this in several schools with all board officers able to be presenters and answer questions about CHOCU.
