News & Events

Grade six students at Northridge Public School in London, Ontario are learning about children in Africa through the Claire Foundation. As part of their Social Studies Programme, teacher Jenny Madamba wanted to raise her students awareness about social justice issues around the world.  Mrs. Madamba taught her class about the Watoto children’s villages and about Claire House and Robyn House. The students held a fundraising event for the Claire Foundation and raised $175.00 dollars at a bake sale.  The money will be used to help support the children in Claire House and Robyn House in Subbi Children’s Village in Uganda. The Northridge students are also going to write to the children in the homes.  Thanks to Jenny Madamba and everyone involved with the effort, and special thanks to the grade six students at Northridge Public School in London!

The foundation sponsors all the children and the house mothers in the homes.
