Family Care Uganda

Family Care Uganda was founded in 2009 as a fully self-sustained project for orphans in Gulu who were born to child soldiers during the war. They have developed a horticultural farm, housing and a school for the children, and hope to bring alternative ideas for poverty eradication to the local communities in the area.  In addition to academic training and sports, the students are also taught animal husbandry and farming - allowing them to contribute to the sucess of the school and broaden their skill set.

The Final Stretch

We were thrilled with the results of our oldest students. Each one gave it their best (as did their teachers) and the results showed it. Ocen (far left) scored the top and is about to start at Restore Academy! Richard (2nd from left) is now moving to 3rd year in high school, one of our older graduates who’s so reliable and dependable, he heads up work teams during holidays.    Read more about The Final Stretch

Sunny Days at the Gulu Orphan School

A few late March tid-bits from our favorite orphan school in Gulu.

I got the opportunity to pop in on some of our orphans who have graduated and are currently studying at one of the top Secondary School. All four of our star students are orphans or had been abandoned as children and overcame great difficulties and lack of education to get to where they are now. Ochen, Opoko, Bill and Ceasar are such earnest students, who always do their best to be at the top of their classes. It's wonderful to see them doing so great and makes me proud!

Gulu Ophans React to Receiving Get Their First Stuffed Animal

We thought you'd enjoy seeing the kids' reactions to getting their very own Swahili Teddies - hand knitted teddy bears knitted by some friends of the school in the UK and personally transported over to the Gulu School. Our kids are flipping out to have them. There is no word in Acholi language for 'toy' so it's all a new concept to have something so cute and cuddly. A big thank you to the ladies who poured so much love and time into these beautiful creations!  Read more about Gulu Ophans React to Receiving Get Their First Stuffed Animal

Finishing Touches on the New Dorms

Progress!

Here are some pictures of the progress on our latest home for children. As you can see, in some of the pictures, the dorms are nearly finished—and just need the facing board on the roof and some final-touch finishes. Funds from our sponsors help us with everything from the basic building and construction to the finishing touches of painting and building new toilets.   Read more about Finishing Touches on the New Dorms

Time to Celebrate The End of Another School Term!

The end-of-term party is commonly celebrated in schools in Uganda. It means a lot to the children to celebrate this milestone with games, dancing, singing, receiving awards, and getting a feast of goat, rice and soda! We really thanked God together for keeping us safe and providing for us wonderfully through the whole term

A day full of fun and games are in order. Volleyball is as popular as football among the boys and girls, but leap frog, musical chairs and tug of ware all run a close second. These kids know how to have fun! Read more about Time to Celebrate The End of Another School Term!
