Who we are

Welcome to Other Parents Orphanage Uganda

Other Parents Orphanage is a Christ-centered organization dedicated to rescuing, restoring, and empowering orphaned and vulnerable children in Uganda and Congo.

Every child deserves a loving family, a safe home, and a future filled with hope. At Other Parents Orphanage, we are dedicated to rescuing vulnerable children, reuniting families, and restoring lives through love, care, and God’s grace.

Since 2018, we have walked alongside orphaned and abandoned children in Uganda, providing them with holistic care education, healthcare, nutrition, and safe shelter. But we don’t stop there.

We work tirelessly to reunite children with their families, empower single mothers and widows, support vulnerable communities, and train the next generation to be strong, independent, and full of faith.

Our Story

Today, Other Parents Orphanage is caring for orphans with critical needs on a daily basis. and in my journey since, I have been impressed by the tremendous needs of orphans around the East Africa. It is estimated there are over 32.1 million orphans today in Africa. All of us need to care for these children.

While in Isingiro western Uganda in 2018, I saw beautiful children who didn’t know where their next meal was coming from and suffered from easily treated medical issues.  I saw how a small amount of money could so significantly improve their lives and thought, “Who would not help such an orphan, if they only knew what they could accomplish for the money?”

One night, at a key point in my life, I was in the mountains praying and said to God that I would love to spend my life for Him, caring for orphans. I was two days away from taking another job and there didn’t seem any way for my vision for orphans, except for God to do a miracle. The next morning I received a call from someone I had not talked to in five months, who is a Partner of the advertising agency. He said God kept putting me on his heart that month and that morning in their partners’ meeting, it was like a light bulb went on in his head that He should call me and offer me a job. Without my saying anything about orphans on the call, he said they were excited about my vision for orphans, and that the job could include starting the ministry to help these children. He then said in addition, their company was willing to donate $1K of their resources towards helping make it happen! I had never talked with them about a job or coming to Dasa lama, and he called on the very day I needed a miracle. It is a clear and wonderful expression of God’s compassion for these children in need and His desire to bring Other-Parents into being.

Since then God has opened many doors moving Other Parents Orphanage ahead with wonderful partners, staff, and volunteers. We have been able to significantly help many orphans and see them come to know the love of God in Christ. We are praying every day for partners like you who will help us make a difference in these children’s lives.

Our Journey

A committee was chosen to secure a location. A friend from Daresalaam donated $1000 and was chosen as the location for Other Parents Isingiro Orphanage.

This Other Parents Organization opened its doors in July 2018 shortly after receiving a license from the Uganda Government.
