Ntambi George Ssalongo is the Founder and Executive Director of Action for Disadvantaged People, a Ugandan non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of vulnerable and disadvantaged children and families.
His journey into humanitarian work began with a deep passion for helping vulnerable children who lacked access to life-saving medical treatment, education, protection, and basic social support. After witnessing the suffering of children born with congenital heart diseases and the financial burden faced by their families, he committed himself to finding solutions that could save lives and restore hope.
What started as a single effort to support a child in need of heart surgery gradually grew into a national humanitarian mission. Through determination, advocacy, fundraising, partnerships, and community mobilization, Ntambi George Ssalongo helped establish programs that connect vulnerable children to specialized treatment and long-term care.
Under his leadership, ACDIPE has facilitated hundreds of successful heart surgeries for children and has expanded its work into education support, nutrition, psychosocial care, child protection, livelihood empowerment, and community development programs.
He has worked closely with hospitals, volunteers, Rotary clubs, development partners, well-wishers, and government institutions to advocate for improved access to healthcare and protection for vulnerable children in Uganda.
