Our History and Founder
The Fountain of Peace Children’s Foundation was founded in 2006. It was the inspiration of Peace Ruharuza, to provide for critically disadvantaged children, often left destitute and without hope through poverty or tragedy, in the Kyenjojo region of Western Uganda.
The Kyenjojo region is stunningly beautiful, but also marred by extreme poverty. Unemployment, maternal mortality and malnutrition are all too common in the region and many children are orphaned or abandoned. As a result of the extensive poverty, access to healthcare and education are also real challenges.
