The FOCUS: Mulago Child Development Project is a department of this organization and is a community-based outreach program to the Mulago-Kalerwe slum community in which the FOCUS center is situated.
FOCUS supports 150 children from the Mulago-Kalerwe slum community in Kampala, Uganda. These children are supported financially through individual sponsorship so that they have the opportunity to attend school and also be provided with their basic needs. Through various educational programs, FOCUS exposes these children to opportunities that will help them develop spiritually, physically, socially, and economically. The FOCUS: Mulago Child Development Project is committed to making a holistic impact on the slum community by using the child as the entry point in the community.
Mission Statement:
To make it our social concern to enable children in need within our community to develop holistically using the available resources, so that they can exploit their full potential in order to impact their communities.

The main purpose of the FOCUS child center is to minister holistically to the needy children under support. (The project does not necessarily support orphans but supports any needy children in the community.) This is primarily done as the center emphasizes the importance of education, empowers children to meet their own economic needs through teaching them skills, and seeks to provide for their basic needs. In targeting the children, FOCUS also hopes to reach the parents, and therefore the wider community, with the Good News of Jesus Christ in order to influence the community's values.
