Mustard Seed Children's Home

Jesus said,
                 “The mustard seed is smaller than all other seeds, but when full grown it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree...”
                             Matthew 13:31-32

The Mustard Seed Babies' Home in Hoima Uganda was founded in June 1994. Bishop John Rucyahana of Rwanda, then a priest living near Hoima, responded to the need for an orphanage that would serve children whose parents had died of AIDS.

RESCUED

Each Child at the Children's Home knows that they have been rescued... they know their stories. Many of them were found abandoned on roads, in empty buildings, in fields, (one by a farmer's dog!) and most of them very sick and malnourished. Knowing they were saved by the LORD, the children requested that the word BLESSED preface the name of the home. So the big sign at the entrance to the Home says BLESSED MUSTARD SEED BABIES' HOME!

REMEMBERED

Presently, the Childrens Home can provide a loving refuge for fifty children with hopes of expanding to meet the continuing orphan crisis in Uganda. The Childrens Home has been recognized as best in the country and serves as a model for other orphanages.

With a renewed thrust of care and love through the individual child sponsorship programs and yearly short term mission trips, hope is abounding at the Home!!! School work is improving; diet and health of the children are improving; children have more than one change of clothing; and the promise of a better future is in every heart!

NOT FORGOTTEN

With a minimum monthly contribution of $25 you can sponsor a child. Your sponsorship will help clothe, feed, house, and educate a child. Because it costs much more to fully fund the expenses of a child at the Children's Home, each child may have several sponsors.

A FUTURE WITH HOPE

Now in its second decade of service, the Children's Home must have a plan to support our older children as they make the transition to higher education.  Sponsorship support is critical to providing these young people a ‘future with hope’.  It is an essential part of our mission to elevate the life of the whole community by preparing these children to be good productive Ugandan citizens.

”For surely I Know the plans I have for You, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not your harm, to give you a future with Hope"
Jeremiah 29:11
