Our projects

Home of Joy - Uganda

Our foundation has been providing active help in Uganda for 9 years. We started with six orphans in 2014 and now run a residential facility with 36 children and young people. We also opened a school for over 150 children in 2023 and we offer the village community various development opportunities with new further education programs.

Mothers Nest - India

The Mothers Nest orphanage is located in central India and belongs to the Swiss/Indian aid organization Bethany Samrakshana. Healthy girls and children with mental and/or physical disabilities live together in the home. Unfortunately, since 2021, the Indian government no longer allows healthy school-age children under the age of 18 to be admitted. We now use the vacated rooms in our main building to expand the school and for children with disabilities or special needs.

It does great work in Uganda, where it opened a school for over 150 children last year. The LfvK Foundation is a 100% foundation, which means that every cent donated goes to the projects and their needy orphans. The foundation does a great job!
