Fresh Start Initiative (FSI) was born from one powerful belief: no child should be defined by their past. We saw the struggles of children living on the streets and in juvenile centers — children overlooked, unheard, and unsupported. Out of this realization, FSI was created as a community-driven movement to restore hope, dignity, and opportunity to the most vulnerable.
Our Vision
A society where every child, regardless of background, has the chance to thrive and live with dignity.
Our Mission
To empower street children and underprivileged youth in juvenile centers through rehabilitation, education, and mentorship — restoring dignity, nurturing potential, and guiding them towards brighter futures.
Victor Kebongo, a distinguished lawyer and trailblazer in defending human rights, is the Founder of Fresh Start Initiative. Through this platform, he leads transformative programmes that uplift communities, amplify voices, and drive sustainable change. With an unwavering passion for law and advocacy, Victor is committed to advancing justice, empowering the vulnerable, and shaping a more inclusive society.

Building the Foundation
FSI launched its first structured programs in rehabilitation, counselling, and mentorship. Early success stories began to emerge — children reunited with families, others enrolling back in school.

Growing Impact
We expanded our reach, running charity drives and skill-building workshops. Partnerships with local communities and organizations strengthened our ability to serve more children.
2025
A Movement of Hope
