Nyaka is a non-profit organization headquartered at 2970 East Lake Lansing Road, East Lansing, Michigan, United States, that provides community-based solutions to address the needs of orphaned and vulnerable children in rural Southwest Uganda. Founded in 2001 as a two-room schoolhouse for 55 orphaned children, Nyaka has grown into a holistic model aimed at helping these children escape poverty in rural Uganda. The organization has built three schools and operates programs such as a clean water system, nutrition, grandmother support, community libraries, health clinics, and an SGBV program, all designed to create a complete support system around each child. Nyaka currently serves an estimated 80,000 orphaned and vulnerable children as well as 20,000 grandmothers. Recent activities include the Grandmothers Project launched in 2026 in partnership with Reach One Touch One Ministries (ROTOM), and ongoing collaborations with other organizations such as Beautiful World Canada.
