The Cause

We have identified 35 children in Uganda living in poverty with no family support who desperately need donors to help transform their futures. 

So far with the support of our donors, we’ve seen children go from being homeless to becoming surgeons. We want to help create the same hope and prospects for these children, with the help of 35 new donors.

Donate today to create real, lasting change.

Meet the Founder

Steve, the visionary behind I AM SOMEONE, embarked on a transformative journey to redefine charitable giving. With nearly 30 years of experience in international development, Steve was determined to establish an organisation that ensures donors’ money reaches where it makes the most significant impact.

In 2005, driven by his profound passion for improving the lives of children and fostering positive change in remote communities, Steve founded I AM SOMEONE to provide a clear and effective path for donors to see their contributions create real, lasting change.

Steve’s commitment to this mission was ignited by a deeply personal experience. In 2000, witnessing the devastating plight of child soldiers in Sierra Leone during the civil war, he felt an urgent call to act. By 2005, he had sold his home and invested his resources into this cause, pursuing his dream of supporting the world’s most vulnerable children. Combining his background as a fine art student with his charitable efforts, Steve uses recycled timber blocks featuring his photography as a creative fundraising tool, blending artistry with philanthropy.
