As a result of cancellation of team trips to Uganda we have been unable to take clothes, books, games, shoes etc in our cases. Recently we packaged up 575 Kg of goods and sent them by ship and road instead!

Overview
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. As of July 2021, Bethel Babies' Home has 15 babies, and, in addition, there are five functioning Family Homes with eight children each, making a total of 55 children (aged from three months to eight years old) under our care. Family Home number six has recently been completed.
