Pre-Primary School
Josephine Kanzira, CEO and Director of the Kajoma Child Prosperity (KCPC), started the Kajoma Child Prosperity Center. During that time, she recognized that many of the young children of the center were orphaned due to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. While managing the center with her sister (Hellen), she understood that many of these children could benefit even more if given the chance of having a family.
Hellen’s Pre-Primary School evolved from the KCPC and was named after Josephine’s late sister, Hellen, who was devoted and committed to caring for the orphans.
The children residing in the orphanage, aged between 3 and 15, eagerly await sponsors who can assist in meeting their educational, nutritional, and medical requirements. Given that they come into the program as orphans, the KCPC serves as their sole home and source of care.

She found out that his dream was similar to hers…
Josephine Kanzira was born in Mulago Kawempe Division, Kampala District, in Central Uganda.

Josephine Kanzira
Chief Executive Officer Kajoma Child Prosperity Center
Josephine Kanzira was born in Mulago Kawempe Division, Kampala District, in Central Uganda. Her parents had little time for her, leading to lack of connection with her mother due to her daily commitments to sustain the entire family and to make up for the absence of her dad, who used to supervise and monitor the forestry work in the country. Because her parents could not be there for her when she needed them, she dropped out of school and got married at an early age of 17 to Joseph Tulyatunga. She gave birth to four girls and two boys, who now live in the US. Her life was a struggle, and she realized that children should not be left behind without any parental care.
She attended Kitabi Girls Elementary School in Western Uganda. She attained a Primary Leaving Examination Certificate (PLE), joined Kibuli Secondary School, attaining a Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE). Then she attended Makerere High School, where she attained her Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE). Then she joined Nakawa Top Care School of Accountancy, earning a Diploma in Accountancy.
She started working at a young age at the Ministry of Labour as a clerical worker. She joined GULF Consulting Engineers Uganda under its ministry of works.In the US, she earned a Certificate in Nursing and worked as a Nursing Assistant at Sam Land Business Institute. With her background in accounting, she later worked for SEAWAY Bank in Chicago for two years. Josephine then started Sharom Home Care Agencies, training nursing assistants, caregivers, and patient care technicians. She then started pursuing her dream of feeding the neglected, needy children in Uganda.
In 2003, she joined World Financial Group (WFG), where she met Jeff Levitan in Chicago, IL. In 2005, Jeff introduced her to All For One Foundation. She found out that his dream was similar to hers. They connected, and he made up his mind in that same year to visit Uganda for the first time. The project (Kajoma Child Prosperity Center) had 100 children by that time and, when Jeff saw the demand for shelter due to the population factor, he suggested buying land for more space and accommodations.
