Our Work

WHAT WE DO

A Safe Home for Children

We are a family home and a safe place for abandoned, neglected, and abused children with special needs. Over the last ten years we've had the joy of caring for more than 100 children with special needs.

In Uganda, and many parts of the world, children with special needs are considered a curse, unwanted, unloved, and often abandoned. We want to restore that value and share with the world the infinite worth of each precious Gem!

 HOW WE DO IT

Our Incredible Team

We have four homes that have been uniquely designed to be fully wheelchair accessible. Each special home in our Gem Village cares for 15 children in a family-style setting with each group of "Gems" having nannies who work in shifts around the clock to care for our Gems.

Our team includes nannies, nurses, cooks, caretakers, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists (Hope Speaks partnership), social workers, administration, security guards, drivers, farm manager and workers, and supervisors who all work tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure our Gems have the best care possible!

WHERE WE DO IT

Kakiri,
Uganda

We are located in a place we like to call Gem Village, located about an hour northwest of the capital city of Kampala. With 88 acres we have fresh air and lots of space for our Gems to heal, grow, and thrive.
