My story

Kayondo's life was dramatically altered at a tender age when he was left an orphan after the tragic loss of his parents to HIV. His world, however, was held together by his grandfather, a man whose face bore the lines of a life full of challenges. Despite his advanced years, Kayondo's grandfather was a beacon of resilience and determination, devoting his life to nurturing Kayondo with affection and imparting wisdom. Their home was a humble, weather-beaten hut in the rural village of Kapeka. Here, under the guidance of his grandfather, Kayondo learned invaluable lessons about farming, the art of storytelling, and the significance of community bonds. The strength and love of his grandfather have been instrumental in shaping Kayondo's life, offering him a sense of stability and hope amidst their shared hardships.

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.
