My story

Nsubuga Robert’s journey began in a small village tucked away in the Ugandan countryside. Life was simple, but not always easy. Robert’s father was the family’s pillar,a hardworking man who earned a living as a mechanic, fixing motorcycles and bicycles under the shade of a large mango tree. Robert admired his father’s skill. With his father in prison, Robert’s mother had to carry the weight of the family alone. She worked tirelessly, selling vegetables at the market and taking up odd jobs to put food on the table. Robert quickly learned the meaning of sacrifice. He woke up early to fetch water from the village well.

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.
