Love needed
Every child deserves stability, hugs, and unconditional love
In Uganda, 2.5 million children are orphaned and hundreds of thousands more are at-risk of family separation. These children often end up on the streets, trafficked, or in orphanages.
The reality is orphanages have damaging effects across every sphere of development. For every three months that a young child is in an orphanage, they lose one month of development.
We focus on comprehensive, family-centered care that builds resilient communities and lasting change.

Every child has a story. Here are some of the children whose lives have been changed through your support.
Born in February 2018, baby Emma's mother was hospitalized shortly after birth. Unable to breastfeed due to medical complications, Emma survived on water and cow's milk, causing severe malnourishment. Since birth, the Roots of Promise team provided proper nutrition and psychosocial support. Now four years old, Emma looks forward to starting school.
Evelyn lost her mother when she was just 2 months old. Her father's whereabouts are unknown. Living with her maternal grandparents who struggle with unreliable income, keeping Evelyn in school has been difficult. With the help of our supporters, we're ensuring she gets the education she deserves.
