In rural Uganda, a mother, son and daughter devote their lives to caring for 46 children, many of whom they rescued from living alone on the streets.

I was so touched by their compassion and selflessness that I visited them and the children.

My heart remains there!

I met Mugalu Kamya Ronald via LinkedIn and we had a Zoom meeting. I was struck by the integrity and generosity of this gentle and humble man of God, and we kept in touch.

When Kamya was 14 and his sister Janat was 7, their father’s life was tragically taken when he was hit by a speeding bus.

Along with their mother, Amina they wanted something positive to spark from such a devastating experience, so they set up an orphanage on their small maize farm to enrich the lives of local children.

The family gives up much of their time, and proceeds from selling their produce to provide accommodation, love and care for 23 orphans, and food, medicine, clothes and education for 23 other single-guardian children whose families struggle financially.

If the meaning of life is to have a positive impact on the lives of others, these good people epitomize lives well led.

During my visit, I learned a lot from this family and the charming children they care for. They live a basic life, many without shoes; ripped clothes; no education; routine sickness such as typhoid due to stagnant water shared with animals, and malaria as a result of not having mosquito nets; sleeping head-to-toe with only a thin blanket between them and concrete and when times are good, largely living off simple rations like rice and beans.

But you know what … they are grateful !.. Grateful to have escaped lives too distressing to ponder. They are polite, endearing, affectionate children who laugh and smile a lot.

If you decide to become a donor, please feel free to send a Whatsapp message to Kamya on 256 761 507525 - he will send you video footage and images from time to time to update you on the lives and progress of the children you help.

You will learn about their unique characters and forge a bond with these adorable little people.
