About us

One Heart at a Time.

A community-based non-profit founded in 2021, believing in the potential for positive change, and working tirelessly to turn that potential into reality.

Our story

A foundation built on faith, family and community.

Zion Clinton Foundation focuses on improving standards for vulnerable children, street kids and the orphaned, and creates awareness around the basic health needs of single and child mothers through the empowerment of families and individuals.

"This, now, is what the sovereign LORD says: I am placing in Zion a foundation that is firm and strong. In it I am putting a solid cornerstone with words spelling out: Faith that is firm is also patient.", Isaiah 28:16

We started in Kampala, Uganda, today our impact reaches communities across all regions of the country, adapting our programs to the specific needs of each place.
