On August 13, 2015, our lives were forever changed. Our small group of Newfoundland women were introduced to a group of Uganda that simply stole our hearts. While living in a state and sickness, orphaned by their parents who no doubt suffered from HIV, they were the happiest, most beautiful children we met. They were full of smiles, full of dance, full of song gratitude for the things we had brought to them that we thought time would help. But, we soon realized that you can’t treat a Band-Aid and Band-Aids were all we really brought to them. committed ourselves to contributing to the betterment of through education and empowerment. Our love is strong believe in the children. We want to give them the chance deserve.

A Newfoundland based charity that provides compassion and support to Ugandan orphans through education sponsorship.

We originally had four of the children placed in a boarding school, then ten, and within a year or so we were fortunate enough to have all 24 of the children in a boarding school. These boarding schools take them away from any challenges they face at the orphanage and allows them to have constant and reliable access to food, water, shelter, healthcare, education, supervision and compassion. Education can often be the escape route from the poverty cycle which they need. An opportunity to go to boarding school is considered a privilege, a luxury and a right that so many children go without.

Later, we came to realize that the children were constantly getting ill, mostly when they were on school breaks. Quite often the children suffered with malaria, typhoid, infections, tuberculosis, etc., sometimes getting so sick they need to be hospitalized. We endeavoured to seek out and find a Doctor who was willing to check on the children every month to prevent their sickness from worsening and was able to treat their illnesses when they were minor.
