about us

How we care for children

Amukura Orphanage Home is a faith-based organization that supports abandoned, HIV/aids, neglected, and orphaned babies from one day old until five years old and reintegrate them back into families mainly through alternative family care like foster care and adoption because every child deserves to be loved, safe, and have dignity.


Today, we're supporting 24 babies currently under our care in our home and support 15 children in foster care and 9 reunited biological families in family-based care. Our goal is to help these children still in our home and others be safe and loving families through kinship care, family reunification, foster care, and adoption.


Amukura Orphanage Home was started in 1952 to care for newborn babies whose mothers had died, due to the high maternal death rate which was 50% of all births. Most of the children we care for now have been abandoned, orphaned, HIV/Aids affected or infected, or are homeless and living on the street.


Throughout our 70+ years of operation, we've provided more than 500 babies and young children with care, protection, immunization, medication, clean water/sanitation, legal support, tracing their families, and resettlement into kinship care or facilitation of foster parents and adoption into safe and loving families.



WHAT WE DO 

Changing the way we care  

Children should be families and kinship care, not orphanages. Children have the best chance to thrive when they grow up in a family. 

That's why we're committed to strengthening families, and we shifting towards a family-based care model.
