Babies Home

Arise Africa Babies Home was envisioned many years ago; a dream that only God would bring to accomplishment. After many years of praying and waiting the  government of Uganda gave Arise Africa International a five square mile land title deed for the purpose of among others develop a children Centre that Includes a Babies home, Nursery School, Primary School, Secondary School and a Vocational School.  We began praying that God would bring the people alongside of us to help us accomplish this vision. Amongst many others the Lord brought iloveorphans (NGO) that committed to help build the initial building for the home. Engineers Missions International also partnered with us to oversee all of the architecture, surveying, landscaping and also overseeing the on the ground construction. The American Embassy as well helped us greatly by providing a grant for all of the furniture in the home. The process of identifying the babies that would become a part of our home was an overwhelming task, the need was very great. We asked Joy Via and Jillian.....to assist us in the process of registering the children into our home. They came to us very malnourished, sick and in need of immediate medical attention. We began treatment of malaria and malnutrition as soon as they entered into our home, but for two babies who were severely sick, they did not make it. In February of 2010 Arise Africa Babies Home doors opened with fifty-four children and twenty four staff. We know that these are not our children but they are His. He has entrusted each of them into our care to receive shelter, parental care, food, medical, and spiritual development. We only exist with the purpose that every child will come to know Christ and to know their Savior's love for them and to grasp His plan for their lives. Our home is not a temporary home but a home that they can achieve their dreams and goals of becoming doctors, teachers, and lawyers by attending our Primary and Secondary School. Our responsibility is to care for each of them individually and help them accomplish all that God has planned for them.We are humbled that He has called us to love, train and make future disciples. We do not do this alone, we accomplish this with the help of friends and family all over the world. Many friends have partnered with us by monthly sponsorship. We are able to carry on due to the generosity and faithfulness of those who give monthly to the children's budget.
