Uganda
Our foundation has been committed to Uganda with heart and energy for many years. In 2014, we started with six orphans - today we run the "Home of Joy" children's home, which provides a safe home for up to 40 children.
There are currently 36 children at our facility. We accompany them lovingly and consistently through their childhood and school years - right up to the end of upper secondary school, whether through A-levels or vocational training.
We will continue to support children who wish to study or continue their education after graduation - provided they are motivated and a suitable sponsor can be found.
Our aim is to give every child prospects for a self-determined life - with education, care and a strong community.
Would you like to actively support our work at the Home of Joy children's home?
As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to get to know our daily routine on site, spend time with the children, and become part of our community. Your commitment will give them time, attention, and stability—and at the same time open up new perspectives for you.

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.
