My story

Namawejje Betty was born in a small rural village, where life has never been easy. From when she is a baby, she faced the heartbreaking reality of being an orphan. Both of her parents passed away when she was still 8 months old.

Why Betty needs our help

Betty needs help because, like many vulnerable children in her situation, she faces overwhelming challenges that she cannot overcome alone. As a young orphan, she lacks the basic necessities that every child deserves.More importantly, she needs love, guidance, and access to education to help her pursue her dream of becoming a nurse.

Betty is supported by impact partner Serah

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.
