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
