Their story
From every corner of Uganda, every faith.
While the orphanage was being built in 2025, the school directors travelled the country to register and admit the children who needed a home most.
Most of the children have lost one or both parents. They came from many families and many faiths, and each one was admitted into the school, given a uniform, a bed and daily meals, free of charge.
How we practise it
Equal care, every day.
Harmony is not a policy on paper. It is how the children live together.
