About Us

Our goal is to provide a loving environment for orphans, children who often were deprived of love through the death of their parents, all from AIDS. We attempt in our little school to give these orphans the basic necessities of life, food, clothing, special Biblical teachings, counseling and comfort, and a good education in a Christian tradition. We are trying to create a society where individuals are taught to care for others, to reach out to those in need as others have done to them.

Though there are more than 100,000 orphans in the district of Kampala,86000 in Ssembabule District,Mbabaali Memorial is the only school that accepts orphans without tuition. Many of these orphans were abandoned at a very early stage, some are as young as two. Some families are now headed by children of 10-15 years of age, children who are incapable of providing the basic needs of life for their brothers and sisters and who often are themselves sickly and depressed.

The founders have one thing in common, they are what they are now because other people reached out to help them. It was this love extended to them at a very early stage that moved them to start a school to meet the needs of the suffering Children.. In the year 2000,They opened a small school with 30 orphans, a very difficult selection process as 4,600 had applied. Currently the school has 116 orphans and 85 paying pupils. The same opened another school in Lwebitakuli Ssembabule District with 250 orphans, currently with 620 orphans.

Unfortunately, Uganda is one of the poorest countries in the world and can do very little to help these orphans, charitable organizations seem to be the only avenue of support.On an average day, we receive more than 20 requests to attend our school, but our resources are so limited that we turn almost all of them away. Some come repeatedly to our door, hoping we will be able to find a place for them

The programme is operated on one hectare of land and is headed by a compassionate professional headmaster who is assisted by ten dedicated teachers. The school operates classes from Nursery to primary seven.

Our orphanage caters only for orphans who are victims of AIDS plague. We provide only the basic needs of life and a formal education in a Christian tradition. Our school facilities accommodate 116 orphans and 60 paying pupils for a total of 176 students. The number of students is limited by our facilities.
