Heritage Orphanage – Uganda
In 2008, Heritage Uganda acquired a donation of five acres of land specifically to be used for orphans ages 4-23. They developed the property into a safe haven for children with nowhere to go. They house the children, grow our vegetables, and mainly eat porridge posho, beans, rice, and fish. Children enter malnourished but eventually grow strong and healthy.
Heritage Uganda has a kindergarten—7th grade school with 15 teachers and eight support staff. Then, children transfer to nearby secondary and high schools. The orphans come to them from the streets, refugee camps, churches, and community organizations that help needy and abandoned children. Besides their education, the youngsters become a community unto themselves and cherish the attention of the adults who work with them.
