Explore program →Why we began
A door opened for Ritah.
Now she opens doors for others.
After poverty and an attempted forced early marriage nearly ended her education, timely support helped Ritah Namutebi return to school and build a future. Care & Joy Africa grew from her conviction that the right support, at the right time, can change a life’s direction.
