Their mission is to ensure all children grow up in a safe environment. They offer various programs like books teaching self-esteem, workshops on abuse prevention, and counseling support for victims.

From the Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful "Litter Summit 2013": Philip Thompson, Larne BC will discuss the management of dog fouling and litter, which local Councillors wish to see properly addressed at a local level, and describe the a three-pronged approach Larne have been progressing based around education, cleansing and enforcement.
Basic Idea: We believe everyone deserves a second chance, especially if they paid for it. What we do is train rehabilitated criminals to be successful mentors and money raisers for schools. What they do is interview students while being recorded and offer trained mentorship. We then bring all of their recorded stories back to the office each day and chose a story to publish in our magazines. After that we get on the phones and sell cover placement and advertisement to politicians and business leaders while showing them shaking hands with our younger generation students. The P.R. is nonprofit and tax deductible. There is a National and Community magazine to choose from. All of the money goes to help struggling students. We even do personal charities.
We think that every child should have the chance to attend primary school as a starting point. We are convinced that education is the finest way to break the cycle of poverty for children from the UN privileged background. It is well understood that poor, uneducated children grow up to be poor uneducated adults. Children of poor families are less likely to enroll in and whole schooling because of the associated costs of attending school.
Our Story
iFamile Emu Children’s Center was founded June 2014 by Akol Benyamen Jayjay with the help of 친구등록 and Anyango Maureen. The idea for the organization was born when Akol and 친구등록 visited the rural orphan children in Bukedea-Uganda. During this visit Akol saw many children under child labour with little to no access to basic necessities. Since then Anyango has remained actively involved as a Co-founder whilst Akol remains the heart and soul of iFamile Emu. It was at this time that he was so much moved with compassion and decided to start the iFamile Emu Children’s Center.
iFamile Emu means “One Family” in Luganda (It’s the most language used in the central Uganda). We have made all the necessary efforts to bring up the children as members of one family despite coming from different backgrounds. This makes our center stand out from the others because we care deeply not only for feeding, sheltering, clothing and educating them but we also care about the family values we are instilling in them at this early stage of their development. iFamile Emu strongly believes that working together as a family we can make a difference to the future of the children in our care today.
