Church within a Church - St James' Church
For many years the only formal church building within the Miranga community, in which the Fountain of Peace village lies, has been St James’ Church.
The advent of Fountain of Peace and also Compassion has seen a significant growth in size of the congregation such that the original building has now outgrown its capacity. Click HERE to read more about the progress being made and click HERE to see the demolishing of the old church.

Overview / Building Partnerships
The Fountain of Peace Children’s Foundation was founded in 2006. It was the inspiration of Peace Ruharuza (pictured left) to provide for critically disadvantaged children from the Kyenjojo region of Western Uganda, often left destitute and without hope through poverty or tragedy. Babies come to our project at or soon after birth and are cared for until adulthood. Click here to listen to Peace explaining what FOP is all about.
FOP is committed to working with other bodies and organisations who share our objectives. This may include schools, churches, businesses, social groups, or individuals who wish to work alongside us. We would welcome the opportunity to give an illustrated presentation of the work; we also have a bank of PowerPoint presentations that can be used for educational purposes, (for example: Environmental issues, Sustainability issues, Health & Poverty issues). Please do get in touch with us at info@fountainofpeace.net
