My story

Dariya, born in a quaint, secluded village in the heartland of rural Uganda, was nurtured by the serene beauty of verdant fields and undulating hills. His parents, like most villagers, led a humble life. His father, a devoted farmer, tilled the soil and grew crops, not only to sustain the family but also to sell occasionally at the local market. His mother, the pillar of their home, took care of dariya and crafted baskets for sale. They bestowed upon Dariya a modest yet joyful life, brimming with love, customs, and the tranquil cadence of village life. Tragically, Dariya found himself under the guardianship of our project after the heart-wrenching loss of both his parents. With no immediate family or community members capable of assuming the responsibility of his upbringing, he was left vulnerable. In rural settlements such as his, resources are often sparse, and extended families or neighbors may already be overburdened with

Our childcare provides shelter for vulnerable homeless children who have been orphaned due to natural circumstances, such as the death of one or both parents, as well as poverty-related issues that cause despair in parents, causing them to make drastic choices that leave many of these children vulnerable. Some children are rejected by their families because of minor body abnormalities and treatable medical conditions. Others are left on the streets of the capital Kampala, where they risk a lot to make a living. Because every child is precious to God. We cannot sit back and watch these children suffer alone. Still, we can do something to restore their priceless lives and give them hope for the future. As a childcare facility, we provide a home for our children after they are approved by the government agency based on the child's status or condition. He or she is initiated into our family situation, from where they find a sense of belonging. Our mother, who happens to be a widow, can take care of the child together with other siblings he or she finds in the house and together they form a family. We emphasize that our children are formed and raised in a family institute. Because this is a way in which right and appropriate standards of life are instilled. We provide them with quality education, food, health and medicine, clothing, and above all, divine principles. LUF believes that when we empower our children or our society as a whole, we provide a great platform for great African leaders who will one day empower the next generation of Africa and the entire world as a whole.
