Mummy Foundation traces its roots to the shared vision of three individuals, Segawa Bosco, Ssabaganzi Kevin, and Lucy Khan, who witnessed the hardships endured by their community in Katwe, one of Kampala's largest slums. Bosco's upbringing in Katwe, marked by orphanhood and street life, acquainted him with the struggles faced by many children in the area. Kevin's return from studying abroad brought him face to face with the harsh reality of young girls being exploited in bars. Lucy, having married Bosco, developed a deep love for Katwe and shared the desire to instigate change. In 2010, fueled by their collective determination, they founded the Mummy Foundation, initially operating out of a small room with the goal of providing a safe haven and educational opportunities, particularly for young girls. Despite limited resources, they tapped into the generosity of sponsors and volunteers to offer basic education and music therapy as a means of coping with trauma. However, challenges persisted, including limited space and regulatory issues leading to closure in 2013. Fortunately, the foundation received a lifeline through the intervention of Jim Trott, securing funding for expansion. In 2014, they began constructing a nursery section to address the prevalence of teenage motherhood and child labor in the community. Over time, Mummy Foundation has evolved into a comprehensive learning facility, supported by partnerships with organizations like Brass for Africa, Kristeen Arnold, A girl called Happy. They offer subsidized education, livelihood program, gender equality, and sexual and reproductive health and rights services aiming to break the cycle of poverty and exploitation in Katwe. Despite progress, resource constraints persist, underscoring the ongoing need for support and donations to sustain their efforts in transforming the lives of Katwe's residents. From its humble beginnings in a single room, Mummy Foundation has grown into a beacon of hope, providing not only education but also essential services like healthcare and computing skills training, embodying their enduring commitment to empowerment and community upliftment.
