A Safe Haven for Uganda’s Children
This wonderful land and people have suffered from disease, poverty, and war. In a country the size of Oregon, 2.2 million children are orphaned and another 8 million are vulnerable.
An estimated 65% of children face conditions such as these.
Many band with other children for protection and survival and find themselves subject to severe abuse, disease, and malnutrition. Most will not be fortunate enough to find a home, become part of a family, and follow their dreams. Particularly in northern Uganda, there are simply too many orphaned children and too few adult-run homes.
The spirits of Uganda’s children remain strong and their hearts yearn for opportunities for a brighter future. Such simple things: a home, a family, a loving adult, money for food and a chance to go to school, are all that are needed.
Iona’s Home is seeking compassionate people to help us reach out and lift up these children, to see them become healthy, educated and empowered.
Please join us as we create loving, stable foster homes and families, where orphaned and vulnerable children can find the chance to reach their dreams, changing not only their future, but Uganda’s as well.
