SALVE – Support And Love Via Education is a long-standing partner of ProSeed, with our 2026 grant marking ten years of continuous support. Based in Jinja, Uganda, SALVE helps street-connected children leave life on the streets, recover their health, and reunite with their families.

SALVE works directly with children through a town drop-in centre, gradually building trust and inviting them to its residential facility outside Jinja. There, children receive care, drug rehabilitation where needed, and practical skills such as tailoring or permaculture. SALVE then works carefully to trace families and support safe reunification, often equipping children with the tools and skills needed to contribute at home.

Since its founding, SALVE has reunited over 1,000 children with their families and helped hundreds go on to start small businesses. Its impact is driven by a dedicated local team and a clear focus on long-term, family-based solutions for vulnerable children.

Mamma Anthony said “S.A.L.V.E.’s support has enabled me to start my own small charcoal selling business. This has meant that I no longer have to worry about how I will feed my children and I have even been able to afford to pay school fees for the older ones and medical care when they are sick”.

Dan said “I can’t wait to be a fully qualified mechanic so that I can earn my own money and help care for my Dad as he is getting older and my younger brother”. S.A.L.V.E. is making this possible by paying for me to do my training.
