restoreWe work with our rescued children to restore the broken and traumatized places in their hearts. We have counselors available to talk with the children and they also receive spiritual development opportunities. They have worship and prayers 3 times a day and are encouraged to seek the Father for their every need.

empowerIn Uganda, education equals safety. It is against the law to harm a child that is in school. Children that are in school are considered valuable members of society but children who are not in school are basically considered worthless. Your donations allow us to empower our children and children from the surrounding communities by receiving free education! Not only is it free education but it is the best education that is offered in Uganda.

transform
We believe that by taking all of the previous steps and sowing into a generation of children that we can raise up the next generation of leaders to transform Uganda. It is a big undertaking and may be many generations in the making but we plan to implement sustainable change and send restored and empowered children back out into their communities to impact culture, one child at a time

provided 200K + meals
Our resident children are fed 3 meals a day plus we also feed the students from the community one meal a day. For most of those students, it is their only meal of the day which they would not have gotten otherwise. Once a month, we also invite the community to have church and a meal on campus.

medical expenses
When we get new children, often times they are in rough shape and need a medical exam and special diet to get them to a healthy place. We were able to provide this of our new children as well as cover some expenses for our children who got sick or had other medical issues arrise.

130 new uniforms
In Uganda, a uniform is a symbol of dignity. A uniform means that you are an educated child and considered a valued member of society. When children don't have uniforms they are at risk of being considered worthless and all of the awful crimes that come along with that stigma.
