About LSSL
LISA Supporting and Sustaining Lives (LSSL) is a Ugandan NGO caring for abandoned babies, refugees, and vulnerable communities — and helping them build self-reliant futures.
history_eduOur Story
We are a national NGO incorporated as a company limited by guarantee without share capital, and we lead with the question of why we exist before how large we are: every programme starts from a specific need — an abandoned baby, a displaced household — not a slogan.
flagMission
LSSL supports abandoned babies, refugees, and vulnerable communities in Uganda through practical, sustainable solutions — providing essential support and fostering community resilience for a more inclusive future.
visibilityVision
A more inclusive Uganda where abandoned children, refugees, and host communities have the care, skills, and resources to live with dignity and to support themselves.
interestsWhat We Do
Our work serves refugees, orphans, abandoned children, and street children. We bridge the gap between government service providers and community needs, and we build self-reliance through savings, enterprise, and community cohesion.

A safe home for abandoned infants, providing medical care, nutrition, and emotional support.
