Case-managed child protection
Each child receives individual follow-up — not a one-size-fits-all handout. Serah finds vulnerable children, verifies their situation, and builds a care plan with the community.

The Serah Foundation — social impact at the heart of every safari
Mwanzo Tours exists in partnership with the Serah Foundation — a registered community organisation co-founded by Anthony and Esther Kiweewa. This is not abstract sustainability or a brochure claim. Serah protects vulnerable children across central Uganda — and you can visit the communities where that work happens.
Origin
Born from Anthony's story — paying forward what was given
Anthony Kiweewa was raised by a childcare foundation in Bukomansimbi after losing both parents young. Someone paid for him when he could not pay for himself. He and Esther co-founded Serah Foundation because that door had to stay open for the next child standing alone — a child whose mother is in prison, a child the world forgot.
Mwanzo Tours and Serah Foundation are not separate missions. A share of every Mwanzo booking helps fund the children Serah serves — meals, education, shelter, and case-managed care.
The need
When a mother is imprisoned, her children are often left alone
In Uganda, when a mother goes to prison, her children frequently have no verified caregiver, no school place, and no safe shelter. They become invisible — passed between relatives, left on the streets, or simply forgotten.
Serah Foundation finds these children, provides case-managed care, re-enrols them in school, and works toward family reunification where possible. Registered as a Community Based Organisation since 2019, Serah serves children and families across Nakaseke, Wakiso, Mukono, and Luwero.
What Serah provides
Meals, education, shelter — and dignity
School re-enrollment
Education is the foundation of every Serah intervention. Children are returned to school with materials, meals, and ongoing support — so learning continues beyond a single donation.
Family reunification
Where safe and possible, Serah works to reunify children with family — supporting mothers on release and building sustainable home environments, not permanent institutional care.
Serah Home — Nakaseke
Serah is raising funds for permanent classrooms and dormitories on community land in Nakaseke — a lasting home for the children and families Serah serves.
How Mwanzo connects
Every safari supports Serah — and the community where it works
When you book with Mwanzo Tours, a portion of your journey supports the Serah Foundation directly. We do not treat impact as a marketing line — we treat it as a relationship with a real organisation in a real community.
- Financial contribution from every Mwanzo booking to Serah Foundation programmes
- Optional visit to Serah communities during your Uganda journey — with dignity and consent
- Community encounters in Nakaseke and surrounding districts — authentic, not staged
- €1/day can sustain a child's meals and school materials beyond your trip
- Partnership with Serah Foundation — not a separate charity bolted onto a safari catalogue
Regenerative tourism
Sustainability and social impact — together
Co-founder Hanna Lukács brings years of environmental and community-based work across Sub-Saharan Africa. Mwanzo was built so that sustainability is not a policy document — it is how every journey operates, with Serah Foundation social impact at the centre.
Serah Foundation funding
Every booking contributes to child protection, education, and community care — measurable social impact, not greenwashing.
Locally led operations
100% Ugandan-owned. Communities are partners in every itinerary — revenue and relationships stay on the ground.
Intimate & curated
Intimate, curated travel — never mass tourism. Solo travelers, couples, and groups all welcome.
Conservation with communities
Wildlife and cultural encounters designed to respect habitats and the people who live beside them.
Visit on your journey
See the community — not a performance
Many Mwanzo itineraries can include a visit to Serah Foundation communities — meeting the people whose lives your booking supports. These visits are arranged with care: no exploitation, no treating children as attractions. You meet a community doing real work, and you leave understanding where your money went.
Ask us when you enquire — we will integrate a Serah visit into your journey where it fits naturally alongside gorilla trekking, wildlife, and cultural experiences.
