One of our organization’s core values is to be quick to respond to a person’s need and we do this through a lens of compassion.  Nulu’s survival depended on the value of compassion.  At 34 years of ..read more

A Message from our Co-Founders this Thanksgiving "EVERY CHILD OF GOD OVERCOMES THE WORLD, FOR OUR FAITH IS THE VICTORIOUS POWER  THAT TRIUMPHS OVER THE WORLD.” - 1 JOHN 5 Last year, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Over the past 18-months, Uganda has implemented all sorts of lockdowns, curfews, and restrictions to minimize spread. These social control measures made serving and protecting children, young girls, and the vulnerable harder than ever before.  Nearly a year-and-a-half later, in July 2021, restrictions have started to lift. However, the afte ..read more

A Story of Faith, Determination, & Courage “INJUSTICE  ANYWHERE IS A THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE.”   - Martin Luther King The silence that surrounds the act of rape is almost as heinous as the crime itself. It is estimated that more than one million women are exposed to or experience sexual violence every year in Uganda. The country’s corruption, lack of police infrastructure, poor legislation, and life-threatening fear makes it difficult for victims to come forward and seek help.  Sarah had just turned 18 years old when she was raped. A man named Dembe had foun ..read more

Rushed to the hospital, Specioza was admitted into Project Orphan’s - Miracle Birthing Center at 40 weeks pregnant. It was that time!

Then Dr. Ernest and Claire, Project Orphan’s Midwife, got to work ..read more

Special needs children in Uganda often grow up in impossible circumstances. As a third-world country, Uganda’s homes are in ruins, schools are structurally unsound, and medical care is hard to come by. Inflation, drought, and lack of resources make purchasing quality-food very difficult and nearly impossible in rural Uganda. More than fifth of all Ugandans still lack access to clean water and live below the poverty line. And sadly, millions wake up hungry every day. Children who live with a disability are subject to malnourishment and can often starve to death. Ambrose was one of those c ..read more
