|Update on Farmhouse
https://www.fountainofpeace.net25 Apr 2022
Our 40 acre plot of farmland has been used to produce crops for FOP and ensure we are less dependent on fluctuating prices and availability. Our fundraising focus for 2022 is to raise funds for a farmhouse and out-buildings on the farm site.
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. On the July/August 2022 trip to Uganda we had the privilege of a personal interview with Peace Ruharuza talking about her life’s work at Fountain of Peace Children’s Foundation.

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 if you feel we can be of any help or encouragement to you.
