Mission Statement
The Stephen Shames Foundation locates forgotten children with innate talents and molds them into leaders. We do this by raising funds for and partnering with Concern for the Future, an indigenous Ugandan-run leadership program.
Concern for the Future (CFTF) finds bright, motivated AIDS orphans, child soldiers, children in refugee camps, and other vulnerable youth in Uganda who want to go to college but can’t because of poverty, AIDS, and war. Concern for the Future’s student-members attend the top primary and secondary schools in Uganda, then go on to university.
CFTF’s staff, aided by community partners, imbue the children with a strong work ethic, a devotion to democratic values, and a desire to serve.
In a few years CFTF has transformed the lives of 75 youngsters:
• Half of our secondary students attend Uganda’s 11 best schools.
• Of these 22 students, eleven ranked 1st or 2nd in their class.
• 46% of our younger kids attend the country’s top primary school.
