Our Children’s Home Background
Our Children's Home International Inc. was born to provide vulnerable children with a safe and nurturing environment. The seed was planted in 2017 when Emmanuel J Nyangi, the founder, worked as a translator in UNHCR along with the child protection officer in Uganda. During a visit to a foster care home, he was shocked to see the maltreatment of a 5-year-old child. This experience sparked Emmanuel's vision to start a nonprofit organization providing a supportive community for orphaned, semi-orphaned, and street children.
Emmanuel's idea was revolutionary - instead of placing children in foster care with parents who may have also experienced trauma, he wanted to create a home where children could live together, supported by trained caregivers and a loving community. This vision simmered in the back of his mind until he arrived in the US, where he began to turn his dream into a reality.
In January 2020, Emmanuel registered Our Children's Home International Inc., and just a few months later, in April, the IRS recognized the organization as a 501(c)3 Public Charitable organization. This milestone began a new chapter in the organization's journey.
Today, Our Children's Home International Inc. is making a tangible difference in the lives of children in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda. The organization supports and defends over 500 children every year, providing them a haven and a chance to thrive.
The organization's mission is built on the belief that every child deserves a loving home where they can grow and develop without fear of maltreatment or neglect. Emmanuel's vision has become a beacon of hope for children who have been orphaned, abandoned, or forced to flee their homes due to conflict or persecution.
Our Children's Home International Inc. is more than just a shelter - it's a community that provides emotional support, education, and healthcare to children who need it most. The organization's dedicated team works tirelessly to ensure that each child receives the care and attention they deserve and that they have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
As the organization continues to grow and expand its reach, Emmanuel's vision remains at the forefront of everything it does. The story of Our Children's Home International Inc. is a testament to the power of compassion, determination, and the human spirit. It reminds us that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope and that together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
