Abraham’s Family is one of our projects which was started in 2009 in a remote Jandira Village in wakiso District. The purpose is to bringing the plight of the little known village to the attention of the international community. There are approximately 49 orphans and vulnerable children supported by this project.

The Projects relies on the support of friends and well-wishers. It is mostly supported by a group of young people many of them students in different parts of Uganda and other countries, who felt the need to support these very needy children. It has also survived with support from the community. Many community members bring in food items, clothing, firewood and other kind support in kind.

It was founded by Pastor Richard Luyombya a who grew up from this same village and grew up to witness the challenges posed by HIV/AIDS in this community. He has served God as a pastor at Light For All Church for over 25 years. In the course of his service he was challenged by ….

Most of the children lost both parents, are abandoned, are out of school and some are HIV+. Due to the condition of some of the children, and given the small capacity of the home, some of the children are supported from their parent homes. We deliver care and support to their homes where they are staying with care givers/Guardians. It is in the extreme cases of abandoned and very vulnerable children that allow them in the home. We try very much to re-integrate these children back into the communities and to ensure that they remain supported by the community and grow in a caring and nurturing natural environment/family.

As a project, we provide food and accommodation, educational support, psyco-social support, Advocacy and livelihood support. We also facilitate acquisition of skills for the children to be able to survive in a highly competitive environment. With the pool of volunteers at the home, these children are exposed to different values, skills, cultures and inspiration through their stay at the home. We also organize recreational weeks, children’s camps, studies and vocational workshops for them to get required knowledge and skills for development. We try as much as possible to recreate the lives of the children under our care.
