Our Mission
The Parker Mother and Child foundation was established to help mothers and children worldwide. Mothers who are trying to fend for themselves and provide for the needs of their children. The challenge is to get funds directly to where they are needed and where they will make a difference.
PMCF was created to fill the gap between regulated government assistance and the actual needs of the recipients. Too often sources of funding from various charitable organizations have been diluted to as little as “mere pennies” on the dollar. Parker Mother Child Foundation works by bypassing ineffective and costly means of funding and by delivering assistance directly to where it is needed.
Mikwano Gyangi Book
Mikwano Gyangi, is a book I wrote in 2010 that invites readers to learn more about Uganda through my eyes, as the founder of Parker Mother and Child foundation. The title, meaning “My Friends” in Luganda, reflects the central theme of connection, as I recount not just the sights and sounds of Uganda, but the friendships and experiences that shaped each of my visits. From the vibrant streets of Kampala to the peaceful villages nestled in the countryside, Mikwano Gyangi captures the spirit of a nation, its resilient people, and the beauty of Uganda’s culture.
This year, the physical book’s text and photographs have been turned into a digital video that I narrated. Check it out and consider donating today! ParkerMotherand
Dr. Jane Mandera’s New Dental Clinic
Growing up as a child in Uganda, Jane Mandera didn’t know how she would achieve her goal of making the world a better place. In 2007, Parker Mother and Child sponsored Jane through secondary and dental school. This past June, Jim Parker invited volunteers from KinderSmile Foundation to accompany him to Uganda to build and outfit a new clinic for Dr. Jane Mandera.
Make a donation that will directly help fund her ongoing humanitarian work at Dr. Jane Mandera’s new clinic!

Betty Nalubira
Betty Nalubira never thought she would even get the chance to go to school let alone graduate as a nurse. On a PMCF Scholarship, Betty graduated from Rubaga Hospital School of Nursing with Honors. She says that her education is most important in her life right now. Being from a remote village made daily life a struggle and Betty is proud to serve as a role model for other girls in her village. Betty began working in a rural clinic, serving needy people in her community. Today she is the head surgical nurse at Bishop Asili Hospital in Kasana Luweero. We are very proud of her outstanding achievements.
Flavia Akello
Flavia Akello studied law at Nkumba University in Uganda. After several years of searching for a scholarship she found Parker Mother & Child Foundation, and we put her on the path to her future as a lawyer. She is already an advocate for her community. She is a passionate believer in human rights, and wants to help her community by protecting people from being victimized because they do not know their rights. She is an intelligent and articulate advocate, particularly for women.
