Entebbe Child & Youth Development Centre (ECDC) is a child development ministry under Deliverance Church Entebbe in partnership with Compassion International. Located along Basude Rise in Kiwafu Central, 1 km from Entebbe town, the project started in 2003 with the registration of vulnerable children that are total or partial orphans, abandoned or neglected children, children with both parents but very needy between the ages of 3 to 9 years. These children regardless of family or religious background stay in the programme until they are 22 years of age.
