Bwembe · Welcome

About our 48,100 m² plot

In 2023 we bought 30,000 m² of land right on Lake Victoria. It has since grown to 48,100 m²: 10,000 m² for the Bible school and 8,100 m² for growing coffee have been added. On it we grow plenty of food, and we have our own drinking-water well and our buildings and huts for the day school for orphans – a safe home and a future for children from the slums.

Day School & Children’s Home

From nursery to secondary school

We teach over 300 children at our school with 12 teachers. The goal is for all of them to be able to write, do maths and read by the age of 18, so they can start vocational training or go on to our own vocational school.

What we grow

On our 30 ha plot right on Lake Victoria, we grow everything the children in the children’s home need. On top of that, farming teaches them a lot that would have been impossible in the slums.

Our 30-metre-deep drinking-water well in Uganda

💧 30 m deep well

Clean Drinking Water

In spring 2024 we were able to build a 30-metre-deep drinking-water well. Before that, the dirty water from Lake Victoria had to be boiled. Now everything is much easier – and the children can live much healthier lives.

Our Chicken Farm

In November 2024 we were able to build and start a chicken farm with 50 hens. Later on we will expand it further.

The chicken farm not only provides a more balanced diet, it is also another place where children can learn and help out.
