Inauguration of the main building

In November 2016, we proudly opened the new multi-storey building for our orphans and staff.

Roger Hegglin and Stefan Born from the Board of Trustees will be there, accompanied by Rolf and Quinton, two friends of the foundation. The opening ceremony is colorful and impressive.

The new building is not yet furnished, and the sanitary facilities are not quite ready either. Once completed, the new house will be able to accommodate 40 to 50 orphans and several classrooms

On the last day of our stay, we invite all the children and caregivers to a picnic day. A wonderful day with the whole "Mothers-Nest" family.

LIVIA

My time at the "Home of Joy" children's home in Uganda was a formative and enriching experience. During my stay, I was not only able to make a direct contribution to the children's everyday lives, but also gain valuable insights into a different culture and way of life.

I helped look after the children, assisted with everyday tasks and organized playful and creative activities. I was particularly impressed by the warmth and joie de vivre of the children and the commitment of the staff. On site, I experienced a caring and supportive environment in which solidarity and mutual appreciation were tangible.

This experience broadened my view of the world and showed me how important interpersonal commitment is. I am very grateful for my time at the "Home of Joy" - it made me grow personally and I will always remember it.
