Our Urgent Campaign

SECURE A SAFE HOME FOR
ORPHANED CHILDREN IN UGANDA

In the heart of Uganda, Mercy Children's Home is a place of hope for vulnerable and orphaned children who have nowhere else to turn. Many of the children we care for have lost their parents, escaped neglect, or come from situations no child should ever face. At Mercy Children's Home, they find safety, love, education, and a chance to dream again.

But today, we are facing a serious challenge.

The land where the children currently live is not secure. Without owning a permanent place, the future of this home — and the stability these children depend on — is at risk. We urgently need to raise funds to purchase land where we can build a safe, lasting home for them.

This is more than just buying land. It's about:

Giving children a permanent place where they feel safe
Building a stable environment for education and growth
Protecting them from displacement and uncertainty
Creating a foundation for a brighter future

Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to securing a permanent home for these children. Your support will directly impact their lives — providing not just shelter, but dignity, security, and hope.

"We believe every child deserves a safe place to call home. With your help, we can make that a reality."

Our Mission

What We Provide Every Day

We provide holistic care that nurtures every aspect of a child's development — body, mind, and spirit.

Safe Shelter

Many of our children come from situations of neglect and uncertainty. Here, they find more than just a roof — they find a place where they are safe, loved, and finally at peace.

Education

Every child deserves a chance to learn and dream. We provide school fees, uniforms, books, and support — giving each child the opportunity to build a brighter future.

Nutrition

For many of our children, regular meals were never guaranteed. Today, we provide three nourishing meals a day — restoring their strength, health, and hope.

Healthcare

We ensure every child receives the medical care they need — from routine checkups to urgent treatment — so they can grow up strong and healthy.

Spiritual Care

Beyond physical needs, we nurture the heart. Through faith, love, and guidance, we help each child discover their value and purpose.

Future Skills

As they grow, we equip our children with practical skills and confidence — preparing them for independent, meaningful lives beyond the home.

"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it."
— PROVERBS 22:6
Our Goal

Building God's Kingdom
One Child at a Time

At Mercy Children's Home, our mission goes beyond providing shelter. We are raising 32 vulnerable children in Kasanda Bukuya, UGANDA — giving them a safe home, daily meals, education, and the love of Christ.

We believe every child deserves more than survival — they deserve a future filled with hope, purpose, and opportunity.

Protect Every Child

Provide a safe and loving home for orphaned and vulnerable children who have nowhere else to go.

Educate 32 Children

Support access to education, school supplies, and guidance so every child has a chance to succeed.

Raise Future Leaders

Nurture each child in faith, character, and confidence — preparing them to lead meaningful lives.

Expand Our Reach

Working to grow our home so we can welcome and support even more children in need.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

A Heart for the Forgotten: Ssengonzi Alex

Ssengonzi Alex
Founder & Director — Mercy Children's Home

Ssengonzi Alex is the founder of Mercy Children's Home in Kasanda Bukuya, UGANDA — a place where compassion has become a lifeline for vulnerable children.

His journey began with something simple but powerful: seeing children in his community going to bed hungry, without care, without protection, and without hope. Many were orphaned, abandoned, or living in extremely difficult conditions. While others passed by, Alex could not ignore their pain.

In 2020, with no funding and very limited resources, he made a life-changing decision — to open his heart and his home. What started with just a few children has now grown into a family of 32 children who depend on Mercy Children's Home for daily meals, shelter, care, and love.

Every day is a challenge. But despite the hardships, Alex continues to stand firm in his mission — to give these children not just survival, but a future. At Mercy Children's Home, these children are no longer forgotten. They laugh, they learn, and they begin to dream again.

"Every child you see here has a story — but together, we can help rewrite it with hope."
