Tearfund’s call is to follow Jesus where the need is greatest. They long for new life and a new sense of worth for people. They do whatever it takes to end poverty and rebuild poor communities. Tearfund work through local churches, because they're Jesus’ body on earth, ready to care for the whole person - and the whole community - inside and out.

We provide orphaned and abandoned children with a loving Christian home where they receive all the love, care, protection and practical support they need to thrive.

Most children come to us at, or soon after, birth and we we are committed to caring for them until old enough to be independent. We are one of few registered children’s homes in the region, and therefore our services are in great demand.

We care for all our children as if they were our own, giving them all the love and support they need along the way.

We are based in the Kyenjojo District of Western Uganda.

The Kyenjojo region is stunningly beautiful, but also marred by extreme poverty. Unemployment, maternal mortality and malnutrition are all too common in the region where many children are left orphaned or abandoned. As a result of the extensive poverty, school attendance is well below the national average and access to healthcare and job opportunities is difficult.
