Homes of Promise

General information

The main task of Homes of Promise is to rescue children from the poverty of life on the streets and, where possible, reconcile them to their families, find foster parents for orphans, and ensure that their physiological, psychological and spiritual needs are being met. The first home, George’s Place, is to be opened shortly. It will have the capacity for 15 boys at a time; transitional accommodation will be offered, with the objective of supporting boys to receive full time education including life skills and vocational training.

We are based in Kampala where our work with street children is located. We are feeding between 50-70 boys, 3 times a week, treating minor cuts and grazes (taking those needing treatment to clinics or hospitals) providing clothes and restoring hope to the many orphans, vulnerable and abandoned homeless youngsters.

We also rebuild/restore homes for widows and their children in villages across the country, and provide building materials for organisations seeking to promote the Christian Faith.

Recently we supported a pilot scheme training local ophthalmologists in new glaucoma procedures which resulted in larger charities furthering the work in four countries across Sub-Saharan Africa.
