MAFOC is an indigenous, Child centered, community based Non-governmental organization that has been in existence since 2003. The catchment Area is 10 districts including Mbale, Sironko, Bulambuli, Budaka, Pallisa, Kibuku, and Butaleja. Ten community CBOs of Nabitskhi, Abur, Nampanga, Busiu, Mazimasa, Butove, Simu, Bugusege, Kadenge, and Pulaka under CCF support then came together to form an umbrella Association that eventually came to be called MAFOC. The organization operates in the famous Mt. Elgon Zone, with some communities located on the slopes. The organization has a skilled and highly motivated staff for programme implementation and management. A Governance board also is in place for the oversight role. It is majorly a sponsorship organization with currently 5000 families directly supported.
