In Mityana, Uganda, 33 children find more than shelter — they find family. Kakembo and his team care for them through food, schooling, medicine, and unwavering love.
The Orphanage is about unyielding love — the kind that protects, provides, and doesn't flinch when circumstances turn cruel.
The Orphanage is a safe refuge — a place where wounded hearts find healing, and where every child is seen and known.
The Orphanage is one big family — bound not by blood, but by faith, by purpose, and by a shared belief in possibility.
Kakembo is the primary person who fought to keep these kids surviving in a cruel world. His passionate commitment to love and care for his kids is the reason they do survive.
Food, clothing, shelter, medical needs, and schooling are essential in this home for 33 children.
They play together with joy and laughter. They work together. They jostle one another, albeit in defiance at times, and they enjoy school, Bible lessons, and singing together.
Bundles of possibilities — learning to contribute in their Blessed Hope home and in their society.
What is required of care-givers at Blessed Hope? Love, time, hard work, vision, faith, and emotional resilience. Kakembo as Director relies on Nagawa — and on you, who serve by giving to grow the children into loving and responsible adults.
From a pandemic-shut world to a home of 33 children, clean water, and a future being written. Four years in motion.
Follow along with Verna in the pages of this book revealing the inside conversations with Kakembo. His profound love, faith, and resilience shine as he endures great hardships to protect his orphan children in Uganda.
